Hangin with EVGA at the GeForce LAN

just saw your old vid on top page of break.com

how does 780i feel
is it still a ing pain in the arse to tune at those MHz like 680i or is it a bit less finicky

a friend has a 780i board from Asus but it's a dog

HA, HA, HA.......dinos22........You SHOULDN'T ask this question man!.....You know the answer....."NVIDIA chipset".....

[dinos22]

you just wait
you just wait :p

It felt a TON better than 680i did when it first came out. I dont think I hit one FSB hole during air or DI testing. Just about 460fsb on air without an insane ammont of effort. 45nm support + a refined bios with gtl adjustments....I'll take it .

Sounds good for a Nvidia chipset

But to be honest, for a modern highend chipset, 460 or even 480 MHz FSB are just not enough. Look how many 333MHz FSB CPUs are out there. To overclock them to the max with decent cooling, you would need a FSB that is closer to 600 than 500 MHz.

[dpa]

if 460 is possible without to much effort, then 530-540 should be possible with core 2 duo, right...?

why dont Intel release a XE core 2 duo!!!!

[tombman]

This board works great with retail YF's

WHICH board? Was it a new 680i or 780i?

[JacobF]

This is a next generation NVIDIA platform, not 680i.

[tombman]

This is a next generation NVIDIA platform, not 680i.

"next generation" means nothing. Can be a completely new chipset, which is very unlinkely, or it can be 780i, whose existence is useless to deny, since the asus 780i mobo is already listed.

Or was it 790i? If it was 790i all 680i and 780i users would be screwed.

It was NOT 790i either

[dinos22]

tombman obviously he's talking about 780i evga/reference board here

If it is a 780i reference board, then why is asus listing their 780i mobo as NOT Yorkfield compatible?

Is EVGA doing some kind of black art magic, or what?

For quad + NVIDIA chipset and not having to spend a week tuning gtl mods, I think it's great Olie. I have yet to go over 485fsb with yf on and p35 or x38 mobo either. Will be interesting to see the dual core performance.

Impressive scores and clocks with a nvidia chipset.

Good work Vince and wow FUGGER driving in a way like bill, gotta love it? eh.

Really sweet cpu also.

Keep pushing it.

106k in 01,
omg! INSANE!

[GAR]

cant wait for this board, i will buy the evga brand, they have the BEST RMA, advanced RMA is FASTTTT and awsome, they have taken care of me so many times with RMA and problems, there warranty is worth millions!!!! cant wait to switch back, i have always loved 780i, my 680i was awsome, no issues besides some FSB holes........x38 has been worse to me than nvidia ever was.

There were no issues at all with fsb holes during tests. The board ran like a dream with yorkfield on DI. Yorkfield + 2900xt results are getting tired lol ...almost time to see what Yorkfield + ULTRA(S) can do. Been TOO long.

[Extera]

Indeed vince... time for SLI to tear the ORB down again

[dpa]

word on that one.. we NEED YF + Ultras..

not to long for that now
how many are we talking again

So when is eVGA launching this board, i have been waiting for eVGA to launch the 780i................any dates would be appreciated vince thanks!!

I think sometime next week. Check out some TRI stuff in 03 and 06 on air. Cpu is on DI in the 2006...it's strong in 06 :



Almost 100k 2003 on Air


2001 isn't all that and I didnt bother with 2k5...so it looks like dual SLI is still relevent in some marks which is cool .

[Simps]

@ K|ingp|n

I hope you can top the ORB with YF + (2) ultras in SLI. Doing it with 3-SLI would be great of course, but it wouldn't be fair to the other top scores, since none of them are running 3 vidcards.

Also, with 2 Ultras, you would be able to bench with XP PRO (current drivers, 169.21, are fast) and at the 30K score level, that means ~1500+ points. Vista is slow...

Check out my comparision:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=169442

It would be cool, if you could post both scores (2-SLI and 3-SLI)
Then we could use the 2-SLI score, to compare against those CF top ones.

I bet you can beat the current 29.3K score in 3DMARK06.

2001 nature score not ridiculous high?
