EVGA 790i Ultra SLI Results

[AndreYang]

When Intel X48 chipset delay, Nvidia 790i Ultra has a opportunity entering market early.

Some overclocker already posted good scores. Don't doubt, this chipset is really good so far.

Everyone wants good high fsb and stable. I test it for few days and really love it.


Here are some pics and results for sharing




Mobo











Heatsink






PCIE , Support Triple SLI




Debug light



DDR3 Dimm






I/O




CPU surround

Surround heatsink

BIOS Options






















Ready to Test

CPU: QX9650
MB: EVGA 790i Ultra SLI
Ram: Cellshock Blue Kit
VGA: 9800GTX SLI




I never think Nvidia chipset could do Quad Core FSB easily, but 790i really is so easy and very stable. 3D score is really unimaginable.





3D06







3D05




3D03




3D01








Unsatisfied?


I done FSB 450 Quad Core Orthos small testing. It's really stable.









How about dual core FSB? Yes, FSB 550 like cake.












Today(3/18) is releasing day. I believe 790i will have some numbers in few days.



Thank you

strange........

754mhz gf9800gx2(k|ngp|n run) scores the same as sli 9800gtx on 800mhz.
cpu was almost the same quad 10*450

doesn't it suppose to be otherwise ?

wonderful pics and results Andre
thanks for share!

Nice scores Andre, too bad you guys don't do any game tests...

To me seems the cards perform pretty well in 3dmark 2001 and 2003 , though 2005 and 2006 is not much above my 8800GTS 512 with lower clocks (800/1100/2000) ... hopefully new Gfx drivers and mobo's bios updates will release some more power...

No tweak at all and I remember Vince didn't use 4.55 or 4.6G for testing, but I think 9800GX2 performance is really nice. I will post 9800GX2 later.

In fact, the same G92 core, so the score is the same for sure. 9800GTX has better pwm. I think it's the most better than than GTS under LN2.

Looks so nice my friend you were right

[LockBreaker]

Nice review.

You are famous, saw this link in a Norwegian forum.

Thanks for nice review, AndreYang

very good review AndreYang

Awesome review!

The 9800GX2 was released in Sweden today! =D

Keep it up! =)

I got about the same scores yes in 3dmark2005 and 2006 with 169.21 drivers, though 2001 and 2003 are way out of my league, your setup scores about 5k more there... amasing driver optimisation or better ram from the 790i there... or the hands of a golden tweaker

Good stuff and you made me wanna buy this mobo ! It's pretty hard to resist

Nice Review!

I am loving your pics! This setup is awesome!

Do you want to test this setup under cold?

[politenessman]

evga and xfx at newegg now for 3 and 1/2 large.

kingpin already tested it under cold.

I know, but you have two GTX

Is there no need of cooling for the rams and spawas at these graphiccards?

I never think memory is hot because I didn't add any voltage.

Am i the only one to see the cheap ass looking electrolythic capacitors? Why not go solid?

[Sneil]

Great pics man. thanks for sharing!

[Peakr]

Hmm. Asus 790i board has more memory timings including TRD!

[dinos22]

good testing

ppl will believe me some more now that FSB Ocing is a piece of cake when they see all the testing done

good cooling and most chips will give ppl 600MHz+ too

there is no benefit from engineering's point of view

they are of the opinion that it will not add anything to performance and that it's all bling

we suggested those changes along with some others but there was no need for them so go figure

if someone can give us a compelling and factual argument it will be easier to present and maybe get those changes done
