Home made 3-Way SLI results

[GLENBOY]

thanks for posting this sampsa shows it works hopefully ati tri crossfire will work as well when implemented

[TheCarLessDriven]

But don't you agree it would seem very practicle for them to start producing a bridge with 3 connections on it?? As in an extra 1 in the middle. It would open up the tech to a broader audience = more success for them.

[Sampsa]

Ok, tweaked the system little bit.. I'm not very familar with Vista but managed to sqeeze couple of thousand extra points with stock cooling:



QX6850 @ 3677 MHz
Ultras @ 665/1725/1165 MHz

And now.....





PS. Last time I ran 3DMark03 was 4th of June 2005 with 7800 GTX SLI. Sorry if I'm a little bit rusty in this benchmark

Grats Sampsa
Dont let anything stoop you

[N3RO]

Sampsa,

I was looking at the photos and the 2nd graphic card isn't an 8800GTX?

So, your 3-way SLI is composed by 2x8800Ultra + 1x8800GTX, right?

N3RO,

N3RO,

2nd card is Ultra with 8800 GTX cooler since it is originally Leadtek's PX8800 ULTRA Leviathan with watercooling (http://www.leadtek.com/eng/3d_graphi...&pronameid=352)

Yes It's what I thought

Thanks,

Score is not scaling as well as I wanted but I'm getting there



QX6850 @ 4500 MHz
Ultras @ 650/1700/1150 MHz

i wanna see 3dmark06

[Pudi]

over 30k in 3DMark06 hmm

[Spacehead]

exciting

[SKYMTL]

I wanna see a 3DMark06 WR!!!!

Please?

[Sampsa]

This was the best I could push today:



QX6850 @ 4705 MHz
Ultras @ 660/1720/1160 MHz

Unfortunately 2618 points short from 100 000

Tomorrow I'll vmod all three Ultras and try to push them +700/1165 MHz. Hopefully that will be enough for 100k. Otherwise I'll try LN2 for CPU.

I wish I had nForce 780i SLI board so I could use my Yorkie I'll hunt one in next couple of weeks!

[jabski]

nice work so far. looking forward to more

[Turrican]

wow, that result is simplay amazing

looking forward to 3dmark05 and 06

[Mr. K6]

Very very impressive. The fact that you jimmied it together makes it even better. It will be interesting to see how well this performs against the "official" version. Excellent work nonetheless, can't wait to see more.

[Morais]

Very nice!!!

[hipro5]

Looking good so far....

[Zeus]

Aww, that's painfully close to the magic 100K barrier.

A little bump in core/shaders/mem should do.

Good luck hunting 100K, keep pushing it.

[Sampsa]

I was benching at my office till 4:30 am last night.. now I have couple hours to do vgpu mods and some tweaking before Premier League's Grand Slam sunday starts (Liverpool - Manu and Arsenal - Chelsea)

[nachthymnen]

OMG, near 100k '03 with stock cooling cards and QX6850
Do you have also a QX9650 to play with?

Yes and QX9770 but no nForce780i SLI board.

[dinos22]

... and you figured out tri sli with old bridges how exactly

great results

[ZoLKoRn]

Hello Sampsa, what Vista version on your install it's Ultimate or other and
it need to update hotfix ?

Thanks for sharing it looking goods

[Charles Wirth]

Finishing up now. This is working.

For phase change users, 780i is the best. bios changes without power cycle is a definite plus.

Half multiples work 12.5 is the max multiple working for both QX9650 and QX9770

Ill have my numbers up in a few hours along with more info's.
