7900GT SLi probs

gerrynicol · Sep 19, 2006

HI folks,

Just got a second 7900GT today, XFX version(old one is Point of view) The performance increase seems to be minimum, from just under 6K in 06 to just under 7K, I chucked BF2 from med settings with hi geometry to high@ 1280x1024 and I could tell the FPS was dipping quite low, anyone else have any issues with SLi??.

Cheers,

Gerry.

Hey 7K in 06? damm thats good.

Anyways as far as i know, Sli does not really increase your FPS by alot, but really helps when you use High resolutions, thats where Sli really kicks in, try using 1600x1240 plus. And its also good for using 2 monitors and using widescreen Lcd's.

Edit: this is off topic, but how much u overclocked ur x2 3800?

just interested.

I have booted windows @ 2.9, but it craps out in games, run it 2.5 for everyday use and 2.7 in benchies

got a pic of it @ 2.8

I hit 7500 on 3d mark06 with my 7900 gtx oc's running sli but lately I've been hitting around 6k. I'm just wondering what the guys that have scores of 16000 are doing or what they have cuz I thought I should be hitting those nuimbers

Azn Tr14dZ · Sep 22, 2006

Are you sure the ones getting 16,000 are using 3DMark06? Probably 05, but not 06.

Pinchy · Sep 22, 2006

yea i think your mistaking it for 05

with the sli, it only really kicks in when u running high resolutions or another monitor, as vortexkrow said. if you want your sli to mean anything, get a new monitor or another one

PyroInc · Sep 24, 2006

nope no mistake you can even check there site

Janchu88 · Sep 24, 2006

the score seems quite low to me... :/

someone from a german forum has two oced 7900GT @SLI with an X² @2,9ghz and hit 9k @06

PyroInc · Sep 24, 2006

see that's what I'm talkin about I've only hit 7500 where others have hit 9k+ and wtf.
