Nvidia SLI Clubhouse

[t77snapshot]

Deciding on whether to go 2x570's or 2x480 Lightning's can be a b........ ok, not that hard, but still... If for some reason i'll go for 2xGTX 570, which one ? Not that i still don't think of GTX 480 Lightnings in SLI. Why ? Twin Frozr III, that's why. That & 4000MHz 1.5GB GDDR5 RAM. Almost on par with GTX 580. Just hope that the price will be lower in Jan 10, than what it is right now : won't have heaps of ca$h for something on par with GTX 580 money-wise.

oh easily two 570's

oh easily two 570's

I wouldn't get a 480 now unless the deal was stellar. and even gigabytes kickass 480 still seems inferior too me.

the 570 has 480 perfromance but everything about the card just seems better.

2wolf & t77snapshot :

I am not compairing 570 to regular 480, i compare 570 to 480 Lightning. MSI's GTX 480 Lightning ? The one with TwinFrozr III ? The one with 4000MHz frequency for RAM. How 2x570's SLI compare to something almost on par with 580 & then in SLI ? 480 Lightning is also one that 3DMark11 & AvP3 love. Imagine this beast in SLI. Is this true for 570 in SLI ? By January 10 i have to know. Thanx people.

*EDIT*

A month (or so) ago purchased Gigabyte's GTX 460 1GB variant, OC'ed it to 845/2040/1690MHz GPU/RAM/Shaders values, on Feb 10 (2 more days) will have nuff ca$h for 2nd one. 'Course i'll OC it to same values as well. Why this card ? 1) Cause i f****d up. Don't ask how, just know - i did ; 2) Cause it's still enormous OC'er : 22C idle in SpeedFan 4.42 with this clocks; 130MHz more for GPU (260MHz more for Shaders) & 480MHz more for RAM ? F**k YEAH !!!!!!!! Seeya all by Feb 10 - i'll have few things to show.

*EDIT #2*

Currently with 2xGTX 460s + upped the performance by OC'ing each card to 800/2000/1600MHz GPU/RAM/Shaders. Tell me if you want to see few benchies i made with this setup. Runs solid.

Id love to see some benchies man, I have one of those exact cards and I love it to bits, lemme see how they do in SL-AYE

Sure, no prob. 3DMark11 @ Extreme is most taxing (like that could surprise me). Enjoy feasting your eyes.

cheers mang, they some nice scores! Ill try post some single cqrd oc GTX460 scores soon as a comparison.

aldo, how much do you love gigabytes iteration of the GTX460, its absolute fkn win aye?

 

[YautjaLord]

Dual fan, overclocked (compared to reference card), in SLI & overclocked it even more !!!!!!!! You just have to adore this beauty - could you imagine that with setup i got one can play Crysis fully maxed out, pumping 50+ - even 70+fps while staying moderately cool ? OC'd this pair of cards on GPU/Shaders/RAM to 800/1600/2000MHz (4000MHz RAM effective), both. Tell you - if pair of GTX 560Ti (reference) can play the games well & this setup can play the games same as well, no need to pay a bit more even in a slight. Waiting for your scores. Raise the clocks to same values as mine for single card - you'll love it. 800/1600/2000MHz on GPU/Shaders/RAM - surprise yourself with scores.

lol my high power profile on MSI afterburner is 900 core, 1800 shader and 2200 memory (1062mv) I can bench at both clock profiles for interest tho

mod your crysis with Rigels Texturemod,a custom config and a few particle and Shader enhancements... im gonna bet Money, that Crysis will look a lot better... and bring that cards (and your RAM) to their knees

2Wolf :

Great clocks, although i will never be able to reach those with air cooling - highest was 850/1700/2050MHz (4100MHz effective) GPU/Shaders/RAM for single GFX card & 815/1630/2005MHz (4010MHz effective) in dualGPU setups. It then (after awhile) started to bitch out on me & even stuck the PC so reverted to the values i currently [ab]use. Great clocks, wolfie dude.

2Wafer :

Prefer to wait when DX11 patch for C2 comes out. lol BTW :

Spoiler

According the latest news this Crysis 2 DX11 fix comes out in 2 or 3 more months, search Google for "Crysis 2 DX11 patch" (those words exactly)

If there is some DX11 mod for C1 though, i'll be sure to pick it up right away !!! Well, are there Wafer ? Don't worry - when AMD's 'Dozer, 900-series chipset with full SLI tech licensed into it & NV's Kepler GPUs come out i'll be sure to abuse that & gonna have pleasure to do so. For now - i'll stick to this current strategy. See you all in brighter AMD's 'Dozer+NV's Kepler GPUs future.

cheers man, unfortunately I wont be tweaking her much more becuase I bought the Gigabyte GTX570 OC model (also custom PCB and cooler, naturally) so I'll be messing around with that.

and if you think those are good clocks, the GTX570 clocks in (after 1 day of tweaking) at 950 core, 1900 shaders and 4400 memory, damn this card is fast.

cant wait to do a GTX460 vs GTX570 comparison, stock vs stock and oc vs oc too.

I got another box for folding which belongs here! I couldn't avoid the temptation of hacking it to be able to SLI

בואנה אחי, לאן נעלמת ?

Go for GTX 560Ti if got cash or for 2xGTX 460's like me for now (costs less than 1000 shekels each in KSP). Once Kepler (GTX 600-series) comes out i'll go for 2xGTX 670's though. Long time no see, great to see you bro.

*EDIT*

Why only after i posted i checked your Sys Specs & saw a dual GTX 470's than, lol ?

Good luck dude, will eagerly wait for this.

I'm holidaying in the south of France now till tomorrow, so when I get back tomorrow night I'll start accumulating results.

I Have a few benchmarks already up my sleeve to run, but I'm well open to suggestions too!

EDIT: I remembered that if the benches are DX10, I can throw a 9800GTX into the mix too!

You have them in collection or something, dude ? roflcopter I slightly envy you. Though i'll run the benchies DX10/11 on my 2xGTX 460s. After GTX 600-series come out (Keplers) i'll try to RMA my GTX 460s to those.

well I forgot that the 9800GTX is gone back to Australia to live with the other cards in my collection. pity too I wouldhave loved to have thrown in the 9800GTX and my GTX260 in the mix, ohwell.

in any case my mini review/comparison is done and ready to check out here;

Great review dude, glad that you included both DX10 & 11 benchies. Is that in SLI, btw ? If not - can you do in SLI & OC'd ? Just asking cause i'd want to know how GTX 570 in SLI & OC'd performs.

Again, great review.

thankyou kindly for the nice words!

nah man its just single card vs single card, both generating impressive numbers really. I'm also running the AVP bench, Crysis Warhead enthusiast, and Street Fighter 4 benchmarks to add to the mix, not sure when they'll be up tho, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow.
