**youngpro** · 07-22-2008, 03:59 PM

Hey guys

I recieved my gtx280 cards from foxconn a couple weeks ago and I have started to test triple-sli with vantage.

Foxconn Dreadnought 790i
3x Foxconn GTX280
Corsair Dominator PC14400 sticks
Silverstone 1000OP
Featuring tek9 4.0s gpu and astra cpu pot

So far my testing has been on air and only entry and performance this is with gpus at stock clocks. I have prepared my gpus for subzero now and the testing will begin this weekend...

Watch this space

unfortunatly my testing didnt go to plan today, i had some problems with getting the tests to run properly with all 4 pots on ln2..

so i cleaned everything up and started again later with 1 card at a time again... i found the gpu actually does like more volts, but with much lower temps, here im using about 1.33v but -140 on the gpu, today i was trying -80, so next time it will be rerun with much lower temps!

passing with some nice clocks with the lower temps,

core/shader testing nature

core/shader testing 3d05

testing single card, cpu on air

i really like this one, promising speed from the foxconn cards

interesting test indeed...just too bad the dreadnought is still not available in Europe...Sounds like Foxconn has got distribution issues - BlackOps took time too but it's there now.

yeah well when i get back from this asus event, it will be time to target these vantage benches first, then i will be doing the 2k1 sli, and revisiting gx2 benches with e8600/9770, and then after that pi with e8600... got about 2 months straight benches lined up there =p
