damn, dude! at that price you shoulda snagged two, and you still woulda been under the average price of just one!!

 

[Fitseries3]

can you say crossfire X..... it'll go nice with my 3870x2 and the leaked 8.3 drivers

 

[imperialreign]

crossfire is well worth it when you can manage it on the cheap, man. At full price of the cards, though, it's a bit out of most people's reach. I snagged both of 1950 PROs for the cost of just one (total was less than $250 between both cards), and TBH, have been very reluctant to give them up and upgrade . . . even though they're starting to show their age . . .

I know you enjoy the novelty of having Crossfire, but the shear performance increase by going with just a single 3870 or 8800GT is well worth the loss of novelty. lol.

HD3870x2 $382.99 new in box

after building a 3870 crossfire and managing to get 17k+ marks i thought it time to go back to my GTX and get some more juice out of it...

so I took it apart, replaced the original paste of the gpu with Arctic Silver 3 and memory modules with Silver Grease...

I managed idle at 58C (gpu) and 45C (mem)...
and then I went for it...

NOT very impressed! 12526Marks

I wish I owned a q6600 or an E8500....

YOU FORGOT THIS!!!
Please update, erocker

yeah . . . I know

but hey, who can blame me, right?!


Truth be told, though, I inted to pick up a 70x2 within the next couple of months; and another 70x2 about a month or so after that - quad-fire is just tickling my nutz right now, but I guess I'll have to upgrade to Vista at that point

The xFired 1950 PROs I intend to put into my second rig, which will be running my 975x board and I'll drop in a dual-core for that setup - it'll defi be still quite a capable rig - but, my primary rig is getting all the glory right now.

um during the 3dmark run i jump to 3.0ghz havent quite figured out why it goes back to 2.01... still working on that but yea dont know if you can take my word for that might have to just wait for it to come out of the 3dmark loop and screen shot it right awayish..

8800gt 650/950 (factory oc) e8400@3.0ghz(during run)

this is un me oced which i plan to learn sooner or later (hopefully later so i get caught up on school work..)

guys 3dmark06 keeps freezing with 8800gt sli mode?

single card np 15473

running xp,2gb ocz,striker extreme,q6600@3.8ghz g0 step,600w jeantech arctic sli psu,tuniq tower,2x8800 gt

crashes without me ocing cards?any ideas?or is it my psu???????

 

[evil bill]

Zatblast - your CPU goes from a x9 to a x6 multiplier when idle to save resources (EIST - Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology if memory serves). You can switch this off in BIOS if you want, but as you say, it works at full speed when it needs to.

you have the same GFX as me

Have you got the latest patch from futuremark, it has apparently addressed a number of issues with more recently released gfx cards in SLi.

As Tatty_one said get the futuremark_fixNov07 and the futuremark_fixFeb08 updates and you´ll be fine.

No it is not your PSU...
