Gunna try some SLI action Today:)

[twilius_basic]

Good show

Can't wait for the cascade action

[FX Freak]

2x6800U under cascade

[Sampsa]

Good luck with cascade. Unfortunately -100C isn't enough

[OPPAINTER]

Good luck with cascade. Unfortunately -100C isn't enough

We'll just have to wait and see on that

By the way, Congrads on the world record, great job!

You are quite funny

[DGeNeRaT3]

Great work!

Guess you had no problem making the top 20

Can't wait to see the results of the -100c Cascade Give em hell!

Good start with SLI OPP.
So close to 25k in 03 damn...would of been a nicer number to hang your hat on...

[zakelwe]

That's one of the problems of SLi, you have to get 2 good cards and not 1.

Yea, I really believe that one card is holding back. The core of 470 is just plain bad.
I won't be able to test it untill tomorrow. If it's the case, I'll replace the card and try again on my water setup before going Cascade.

Move over CPU City... OPP & Xtremesystems.org is coming through


3D Mark 05

Head to head!

Vapo LS / LN2 vs. Cascades.... Sampsa & Kamu (www.muropaketti.com) vs. OPP (www.xtremesystems.org)

[blinky]

rememeber they have backup scores 600+ core and 1400+ mem, so cascade better help out a whole lot

Vapo LS / LN2 was just warming up

[eva2000]

Well here's the story

The MCW-T blocks worked OK, 16C Idle, from what I could tell they went up to 26C load or so.

#8 in 05 and #6 in 03
3D05

3D03

My memory ran good, 1300s, the core on the other hand sucked, 470. I need to test each card seperatly and see if one card is a dog or somthing, if so I'll have to replace it.
I didn't use the mods, the cards were hot enough as it was.

Next will be with cascade cooling, an extra 100C of cooling should take care of bussiness.

wow still very nice with just 66.93 drivers hehe wait till ya go 76.10 hehe

Those aren't Futuremark approved and won't propably never be. Better to run with approved drivers so the score is legit, right?

[charlie]

Don't make me bust out my "buggy" back-up, lol....

[Apocalipsis]

The DFI have the Same Spacing between slots as the MSI, they both have 1 slot between them.

OPP

Are you sure on that boss? sure it's just one slot on both but i think MSI has some more milimeters to play, I say this because one of my MCW50-T's does not fit between the cards, unless I'm doing something wrong.

[zakelwe]

That is a difficult question to answer to be honest. In one sense you want a driver set that has no IHV cheats, so 66.93 is the one, but on the other hand as everyone is using the same IHV in this case it does not matter.

But on the other hand the top scores have been done with 66.93, which currently beats later driver with tweaks so if the later drivers are now used will that mean that the new record holder ever beat the old score and so had the fastest rig ?

But on the other hand nvidia drivers are always progressing and benching multiple drivers over time is part of the fun. It also makes people with onetime LN2 put more effort in and cost to keep up with the OEM heatsink guys with the latest drivers

On the whole though I'd say at present 66.93 is the way to go to see who is top dog.

[eva2000]

well i never had 66.93 drivers work in SLI for either of 2x XFX 6800GT PCI-E or 2x eVGA 6800U PCI-E on Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and DFI NF4 SLI-D only driver that worked in SLI was 71.24, 71.25, 71.84, 75.90, 76.10 and 76.41

[sandybeach]

You guys need to get some $$ and go for the dual tyan PCI-e board.

It supports two 16x pci-e slots via two "INDEPENDENT NVIDIA CHIPSETS ON ONE BOARD" and yeilds up to a 1k lead in 3dmark 2k5 due to the increases speed.

2 opterons 248 2.2ghz =$900
tyan mobo $500
2x 6800u =you already have
4x512 ch-5 ecc/reg ram $450

That's a good start OPP! Yep, it definitely takes two good cards to pull of top SLI scores. Aside from having two solid cards, I also have a secret "hint" on maximizing your overclock in SLI. PM me if you'd like

[Bennah]

Vapo LS / LN2 was just warming up

Having another benching sesh soon then

Charlie... nevar bring out that back up score

OPP is slowly crawling up there... instead of the usual fashion of 'BANG... #1!'

do tell

You can't o/c the CPU there so I don't think you can take WR. MAYBE in 05?

[sandybeach]

yeah only talking about 05 since 2k1 is about to be phased out 2k5 will take over as the preimer benchmark and cpu has little effect at all on score

plus the folding power of a dual 2.2-2.6ghz opteron setup "yum"

[Pejsen]

Having another benching sesh soon then

I think he's refering to the use of LN2@cpu in the last runs, wich are not published yet
