    Man, I'm starting to become worried now that both of my 9800GX2 GPUs aren't enabled.



    Is this normal? And also, howdid you manage to get such rounded off overclocking frequencies? (750/1100/1900). In RivaTuner, I can never seem to be able to do this.

    btw: for crysis (game not the bench) @ windows Vista 64bit its better 174.53 or new 174.70 (174.60 Buggy)

    Finally a real comparison beetwen quad sli and crossfireX...
    At the actual level of parallelism 1280*1024 and 1024*768 are not resolution that can give us a real challange.

    3dmark hall of fame is so similar to super pi. U don't need even dice for the gpu's.
    Finally someone tested quadsli and crossfirex with a decent resolution.

    Can u make a test with sli disabled? I wanna compare 3d06 and 3d05 at 1920*1200 single and sli. At this resolution the gain should be good.
    A similar test with ati will be appreciated.

    Like hipro said before crossfirex scales better on 4 gpu's. Even with greater resolutions and a chip with lesser power the driver support makes the difference.

    as i said i'm still using XP32

    when i have one VGA installed i get the multi-GPU option in the NV control panel
    with both cards+SLI bridge installed,the multi-GPU menu is not available at all

    Quad-SLI is/will be only for Vista?cause i'd rather wait a bit than installing Vista

    AFAIK there will be no Quad SLI support for these cards in XP so you'll have to switch to Vista. It's not such a bad OS especially now that SP1 is out.

    Happy Easter everyone!!!

    doing some overclocking this morning and I got the FSB on my quad up to 500!!!

    anyway, here's a 3DM01 run for you



    I've never run 01 before, so I have no idea whether or not this is a decent score

    I'll run some high res 06 tests (sli/non-sli) in a bit
