[PP Mguire]

Fox you should be getting so much more than me.

[foxmobouser]

re-ran it and still the same, unless its due to my mechanical raid vs your ssd's

[PP Mguire]

Nope HD speed has nothing to do with 3dmark score actually. Do you have that 480 OCed at all?

[foxmobouser]

Nope HD speed has nothing to do with 3dmark score actually. Do you have that 480 OCed at all?

Nope its at stock @8x
the 285 GTX is the other 8x
and the 9600 GSO is in the x4 slot

[PP Mguire]

That would be your problem.

[foxmobouser]

That would be your problem.

Took out the other card and re-ran it and not much of a difference. :(

That is a big unequivocal NO! What I meant was just that a free download that doesn't have all the bells and whisles. That is what I used for all the other versions over the years. Now that I think about it I have a coupon floating around here somewhere for this thing............ :whistler: Oh and as far as the how long it looks to be close to 30 minutes! :jawdrop:

Oh well it is for Vantage advanced.

While we're talking benchmark bs, need some reccomendations for something to test hdds (performance) that has graphes and thingies to show what is going on.

[jedihobbit]

Cute spent 30 minutes to download the thing and I can't find it!! Come on it is either on the 32GB SSD or the dang 300GB V'Raptor but...............

Most browsers have a downloads window where you can find the download and open it (or its folder).

YoKay......the first must have been a non-load. Found it on the next attempt to download. My first attempt at running the benchie I ended up with with some really crappy scores. Guess it helps to stop the folding!! :dielaffin:

Tried it again tonight without clients running
GPUz > SLI
Folding > 2 x GPU
Precision > SLI
CPUz > 2 x GPU
3DMarks > 1 x GPU.....HUH!?!?! :icon_shock: :stuck: :? :x

[jedihobbit]

The second GPU shows up in GPUz, HWMon, Precision, and a few other situations it is just that when the benchmark is done it refs only 1 GPU.

[Dragon]

Wow only 6k? That's barely higher than my score and your card AND CPU are much better than mine. Tweak some more!

Unfortunately with out adding volts to the GPU, I already got the 2600K @ 4.9GHz any more there is not going to net me much more of a gain.

[Dragon]

nice performance. I just run it no setting priorities or any of that crap just run it the way I have my computer setup.

[Joshua_Mahr]

That was pretty much stock for the gpu. Core was up a bit but stock volts. I will overclock later i don't think the card hit over 42C the whole test. I haven't bothered oc'ing the 580 cause its just folding.

nice score PP....

[PP Mguire]

Thanks. I was shooting for 8k but my 4x slot really holds me back. Not to mention I'm stuck behind the ol 220fsb barrier.

[Dragon]

I am surprised you can get SLI to work on a x4. But yes that is semi killing your performance. I say semi Killing because I messed with ATI vids on that same config and some games did not care for the second vid being on the limited bandwidth while others the only to tell the difference was cranking the resolution to 5760 x 1080. but this was done on a 2600K, should not be much of a difference as far as PCI-E lane distribution.

[PP Mguire]

Well I'm not playing games on this SLI config. I was only doing synthetics and it seemed to do the job. As soon as I'm done messing with it the other 465 is going back in my server.

[peti1212]

Just upgraded the system a bit, popped in another GTX 580 to have a flawless smooth gameplay with a triple monitor setup and in 3D Surround. Score is P16030:

[Joshua_Mahr]

Nice scores PP and Peti. Got any shots of the 3d three monitor setup Peti? I have thought about doing something like that.

[peti1212]

Yeah, give me a sec, I'll take some shots for you. ;) I already have a shot, but that only gives the monitors one kind of justice. Need to take a gaming shot as well. :)

[peti1212]

Here are some pics as requested, they are all in 2d Surround because 3D just adds another image to the screen making it look blurred. Only looks good if you have the shutter glasses on.

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n44/peti1212/LOL.jpg

[PP Mguire]

I used to want a triple monitor setup for that kinda stuff and now looking at these pictures I don't.

[peti1212]

Lol, that's funny, the stretch that you see on the side monitors doesn't look stretched when you are sitting and looking at the middle monitor, because it is your peripheral vision that sees that and it looks fine. When taking a picture from far away, it looks different and distorted. I personally like surround and when my buddy came over, he said, dude, keep it on, I don't want to go back to just a single monitor. hahaha...

Either way, lets not get off topic too much. We can start a new thread for widescreen gaming if needed.

[Blacksmith1]

thanks for the warning about that last set of pics. the boys were behind me and I'm sure I'm gonna hear about it from my soon to be EX

[Dragon]

Hey Peti you should start one. Because now there are two of us. BTW impressive scores on 11

[peti1212]

I'll go ahead and try to get an even higher score later, I have some plans to overclock my system a bit further. Thanks.

[JJVal]

[peti1212]

Yeah, could be a cool idea, I'll run it by Bjorn to see if he can add a forum for wide screen gaming, that way if some games have problems there can be a discussion to figure out what can be done.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Wow nice display setup for both of you. Hmmm. Might be ordering another monitor.

[peti1212]

Would you guys be interested reading about a comparison between standard reference GTX 580s in 3-way SLI vs. 3GB model GTX 580s in 3-way SLI? Also we could maybe throw in two GTX 590s to see how each setup performs on a Sandy Bridge setup with three Full HD 3D monitors in 2D Surround and 3D Surround setup?

[Joshua_Mahr]

Would love to see that. Maybe throw in an ASUS Mars II to test also.

[peti1212]

I'll see what I can do, but Mars 2 might be a bit difficult to get hold of.

[Dragon]

Personbally there needs to be a comparison of AMDs Eyefinity and Nvidias 3D Vision Surround. But do all type of configurations. hence, AMDs capability of using 1-4 Video cards, and Nvidias 2+ needed. So do a comparison that uses 1 AMD 6970, 2 6970's, 3 6970s. and then do 2 Nvidia 580s and 3 Nvidia 580s. lot of runs but that is the name of the game. if you going to do a comparison might as well bring out all of the stops. Because both types of setups have their strengths and weakness'. then do a true comparison of the 6990 and a 590 (these are the only cards that only require 1 video card to run a multimonitor set up.) But you will have to mention that Nvidia is limited to 3 monitors while AMD can run up to 5.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Dragon thought of your guide before I go and try to push 3 non-reference 5850's past 1Ghz Core tonight.

[peti1212]

lol Joshua, and Dragon, sure I'll look into it and see what I can do. If I do do a guide it would be sometime in a month, because I do need to test a lot of cards and write the whole thing, stay tuned though, I'll let you guys know what I will have for testing soon.

It definitely would not be an easy one, that I will guarantee it. The biggest issue I see from review sites is that they are for one or the other, nor have I seen a true comparison between Nvidias solution and AMDs solution of multi monitors. Sure I know the differences between the two and what each others strengths and weakness' are, but there are those who do not know the differences are. And one of the things that is hurting PC gaming is that very few people actually understand what we can do on a PC vs console counter parts, because no one goes that extra mile to show these major differences. there is more to computer hardware then just speed.

Now it is time for me to find a video card flashing utility and start cranking a pair of 6970's till they scream hehehehehe.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Let me know what u come up with the 6970's I have two and would love to flash them also when I get the time. I mean after all thets what the little switch is for right?

[Dragon]

If I do them indivually I can do 1000 MHz on the core and 1550 mhz on the mem. But in crossfire AMD CCC power play BS limits my clocks to 950/1450.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Same here. 950. But I nedd to flash them to 1Ghz and 500mem

[Dragon]

if your vids are reference designed I can give ya the BIOS file from mine after I flashed them.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Sweet.. Thanks man. BTW no fires last night. Still got all the extinguishers.

[Dragon]

I will get on them soon, I been having issues with my computer these last few days.

[Blacksmith1]

there's something clogging up my system. P4465 3DMarks

it should be in the 6000 range, which sucks also since it's a 480 sli setup but the rest of the tech is old. ASUS M3N-ht/deluxe, Phenom 9500, ddr2 800 with a mild overclock. I gotta find a way to upgrade.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Try some GSkill Pi Series DDR2-1200... I got some in my P45 setup. Fast stuff!

[Blacksmith1]

I could set my mem to 1066 which is as fast as this board goes i think. but still according to their site my setup should be over 6000. doing benchmarks in Just cause 2 i'm getting crappy frame rates and that's with the cards O/C'd...
I don't know WTF is wrong here..

[Blacksmith1]

tried to up the mem setting and the post hung. so rest the whole sys and now get P4412 3DMarks

which is a drop from before, and this time i even shut off the virus scanner and stuff. so WTF am I doing wrong? or is the 780a just that crappy a system? and i 'm assuming that this is better than I would have gotten from my 750a.... my SLI meter goes up and down during these tests (maybe I should shut that off and try again?) so I know the SLI is at least functioning, but is it working right? gotta hit the road, maybe when I come back I'll shut off SLI and try these tests again to see if that makes any difference.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Is this any good?

[peti1212]

Very nice PP! Can you hit 1 Ghz if you take out your PC at night when it's cool outside? What I did once when I was testing a card was take the system out when it was about 10C outside, stuck a big window fan on the side, and just pushed a buttload of air into the chassis. Worked like a charm.

[PP Mguire]

Even though I am right next to the front door I don't have enough cable to do that. My PC is kinda stuck where it is. The fans on this card don't spin up fast enough to push air faster. If I had water I could get this beast over 1GHz easily I bet. I have plenty of room in the CPU I think. I could probably keep it at 4.5 with the H50 but there is no point really.

[peti1212]

We can work out some water cooling setup for you eventually, if you're interested in such thing. We'll talk more about this later.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v701/pp_mguire/5804511.jpgWould have to be pretty high. My 8k score was overclocked with the 3960x.

If you were talking about that one, then that's only a 630 point difference. Remember, my score is completely bone stock, no tuning or anything.

Is 630 point difference really that difficult to attain considering I had no tuning done to my system?

[PP Mguire]

Well CPU wont grant too much of a difference. I would say I got a 100-200 point difference on CPU only. You'll have to ramp up the GPU but honestly I don't see you reaching 10k on that GPU. Maybe 9k depending on how high you can clock the GPU.

[CDsDontBurn]

Yea, I gotta learn how to overclock all over again. Overclocking isn't like how it used to be back in the day. It seems to be more intriquite now. I already downloaded MSI afterburner for GPU OCing and that seems to be quite straight forward. But OCing the CPU I will definitely need help on how to do. I'm sure if I get the basics, I will be able to figure out the rest myself.

[PP Mguire]

It's as simple as upping your core voltage and raising your multiplier. No FSB usage.

Btw, my i5 750 at 3.8 and the 580 got a 7100 score.

[TehYoyo]

It's as simple as upping your core voltage and raising your multiplier. No FSB usage.


Just a lot of stress-testing/time to lock it in.

[PP Mguire]

Just a lot of stress-testing/time to lock it in.
Not really. If he wants to go for a simple OC to say 4.3 or something like that then it's just a case of raising the multiplier to 43 then upping the voltage until it's stable. It takes me less than 20 minutes to OC and stress test things if it is for personal use and gaming.
