Gtx 295?

wait what did you have to do with the hdmi? do you need two monitors to make it work?

[p2501]

p,
If you have one and you get the chance can you stick a Kill-a-Watt on this and give us some numbers?

No problem, I've got one running on this box always. From dual 9600GSO around ~450W it went to ~520W fully loaded. (Q6600 @ 3.4GHz with 1.47v, 8GB RAM)

I guess I'm watching the chance of overtaking you verschwinden .... time to start planning another build

Heheee, come and get me! =)

Very nice p2501! Glad you got it running! Which "leaked" drivers did you use???

185.20, the only ones that work for me. Well, they're beta, so I used the term leaked. I've got the dreaded blackscreen on boot with 181.20.
nV needs to get their drivers working.

I got it working! In my situation, there were two issues. The first was my having SLI turned on. The second was the HDMI port needs to be initiated, since it is assigned GPU1, whereas the DVI ports are both assigned GPU0.

w00t

Glad to hear that!
But I think it would have been better if nV would have assigned one DVI port to each GPU, maybe we wouldn't have needed to have dummies all around.

wait what did you have to do with the hdmi? do you need two monitors to make it work?

It just means that you need to have a dummy in there too and you need to expand the screen to the HDMI output, as usual.
