New 3DMark03 WR with 3-Way SLI: 103888

[Sampsa]

After one week testing and benching my homemade 3-Way SLI setup I managed to push it to 103888 points in 3DMark03





CPU cooled with my rotary cascade (made by cold_ice) and Ultras cooled with Swiftech Stealth watercooling (provided by Finnish computer shop Jimm's PC-Store)





Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 @ 4706 MHz
EVGA, MSI & Leadtek GeForce 8800 Ultra @ 720/1760/1180 MHz
EVGA nForce680i SLI
2 x Kingston KHX6400D2ULK2/2G @ 3-3-3-3 1T
Silverstone 1200W PSU
Windows Vista 32-bit
ForceWare 169.25 WHQL



I can't publish the score in ORB (atleast yet..) since 3Dmark03 doesn't detect the QX6850 CPU. I just contacted them about this issue.

(Thanks to Intel, EVGA, MSI, Leadtek, Kingston, Jimm's PC-Store and Elektroni.fi)

Keep on Rocking Sampsa

[Soakki]

Pretty nice!

[Fr3ak]

Congrats on the score ! :toast

hehe I see a lot of power adapters there

[marru]

wow, nice results

Could you tell me please if there is enough room to phase cool all 3 graphic cards? It looks pretty cramped from here for a gpu evap between the cards.

[nachthymnen]

Great score as always!
Also I love the pictures of your setup
Congratz on the WR!

[Kain XS]

Thats like ghetto 3-Way SLI bridge.
Which mobo is it?

[eva2000]

woah congrats... yay for home made SLI bridges

curious would crossfire bridges work ???

[Lightman]

Congrats Sampsa!


With a 780i mobo and 45nm you would do much better

No worries though, New Year is soon and with it new mobos will come

[Paxi]

Congrats to the WR!
Give us a new 06 WR also pls

[Sampsa]

I'll run the test tomorrow again with E6750 or E6850 and hopefully it will recognize the CPU, or it might be Vista issue.

[VictorWang]

with vga under cold, 03 might break 12k

[Fr3ak]

I hope you mean 120k

[kiwi]

Only vista supports 3-way SLI?

with vga under cold, 03 might break 12k

How about a single person benches LN2 with 3 GPU and 1 cpu container, you need like 6 hands

[Fr3ak]

Or good containers

So far triple-SLI only works with Vista, yes. Chances are, that it will remain that way.

[2fink]

only one 120 radiator for three cards?

[Sneil]

3d06?

Nah... It's easy. Only requirement is that you need to be named Vince

I was thinking the very same thing, lol.

Great job Sampsa!

A 780i board with a good Yorkfield and three of those ultra' s will rock!

[EXPANDER]

3DMARK2006 low Bad Score. 2003 Good score

[JamesBong420]

from my experience one 120 is as good as air, if not very little better. but 3 ultras on 1x120? temps please?

[G H Z]

WR with the home-brewed Tri-SLI, nice one Sampsa

/wonders when Vince is gonna show up

[m0da]

that rad really looks just like another fan. switch it and up those clocks!
great performance you're getting though. keep it up

[Timbosan]

thats a lot of ultras, nice score, especially when you consider the vga cooling congratulations on the 03 WR

[oanvoanc]

hehe, nice score.

isnt it difficult to adjust 3x resistance just for graphics?
