Hey Joe, is 1.365 set in the bios? If so what voltage are you getting under load after vdroop?




I beg to differ, you have one penis and two hands, 3 ladies is just fine.

Well ok guys i know we can do more with 3 chicks, but the point was the third card is only 7% faster and a third chick may be a 600 pounder.... bahaha..

right now I have it set to 1.40625 in the bios and it vdrops in windows to 1.38 and when i stress test it with OCCT it goes down to 1.345, so far so good, I am trying to see if there is a voltage regulation feature in it like the Asus Maximus Formula had, with that board I would put 1.3625 in the bios and it would stay around that voltage.

That's two times in this thread you've posted bogus or just vague information so I had to reply: where did you get the figure that the third card in a triple-SLI setup is "only "7% faster"? Maybe you were just trying to be funny, but every site that's benched Triple-SLI has noted great scaling (about 2.8x that of a single card) especially in cases of high resolutions (which is the whole reason those of us bothering to buy a third GTX or Ultra are doing so - for 24" and 30" screens to run at native res).

I put together my 780i based system last night finally after UPS dropped everything off including third GTX card; I fired up Company of Heroes 2 with Triple-SLI'd GTX cards and at 2560x1600 was in fact getting about framerate between 2.8x and 2.9x what I get with SLI disabled.

As for Crysis, current bench figures are nearly useless since Crytek and Nvidia are still optimizing the game for Triple-SLI so until that's final there's not much to debate.

I can say that, coming from an EVGA 680i with a Q6600 and moving to the 780i, things seem way more stable at the same frequency (3.8 on water and memory at 1100mhz) but ofcourse I'll continue to evaluate over time.
