Woohoo 8800gt 512 in sli First time

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

Ok so for the first time i am running dual vid cards....Happy as a pig in SH@T>. Is there anything i k should know about running sli?

Boneface

I think you should know... overclock that cpu to get the TRUE performance benefits!! Your awesome C2D is now a bottleneck!!

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

Its at 3.1 isnt that ok?

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

Congrats! Give us a few 3dM06 runs, you know everybody loves those!

francis511 · Feb 20, 2008

Update your specs man

hat · Feb 20, 2008

3.1 eh? *looks up info about E6750*
Dude... you got the 8x multi! :rockout:

Try running 400x8 if you can, grab an AC Freezer 7 Pro, 400x8 is 3.2GHz prety damn good, run your memory on a 1:1 multiplier... and if your memory isn't running dual-channel, take that 2 gig stick out... stay with the 2x1gb...

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

Ok im running vista 64bit. Does 3dmark 06 work with 64bit?

ShadowFold · Feb 20, 2008

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

The 64 bit OS should emulate the 32bit executable just fine.

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

Got it to work

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

Seems kinda low IMO. You sure your running in SLI?

Are you running in dual channel? Doesn't seem like you would be with that odd memory config. Also... yeah overclock the cards.. and run 400*8 1:1 FSB

RAM and see what happens, good luck

erocker · Feb 20, 2008

Not bad, but you have some work to do to get optimal performance. 3.1ghz is a great everyday speed for your chip. If you are in it for the benchmarks, I would suggest you read up on this XP tweak guide right here. Also, are you running 2 x 1gb sticks and one 2gb stick? If so, you aren't running in dual-channel and are taking a performance hit from that. I would just use the 2 x 1gb sticks for now, buy yourself another matching 2gb stick, then sell your two 1gb's. It's pretty much a rule of thumb nowdays to have two matching sticks of ram, if not 4. If you have any questions let me know! :toast:

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

i figured its the ram but the 4 gigs even if it is odd confg lol, works good for vista, ill OC the cards abit and see what that does

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

I bet you are running in dual channel though. It all depends on which slots you have each dimm in.

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

slot 1-1gig, slot 2-2gig, slot 3-1gig, Should i move the 2gig to the last slot?

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

Sounds correct to me. Throw us a CPU-z Memory tab screenshot.

Boneface · Feb 20, 2008

In Single

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

That's probly what is holding you back a little. Try switching around the dimms in slot 2 and slot 3.

Nitro-Max · Feb 20, 2008

can you run dual with 3 sticks?? thought it was either 2 or 4. One bank will run single and default the other 2 aswell. you normally need 2 sticks of the same brand.

just try the 2x1 gig

JrRacinFan · Feb 20, 2008

You know what, you are correct. Next chance you get pickup another 2GB stick (smarter thing) or a 2x1GB kit (not as smart).

Nitro-Max · Feb 20, 2008

Try your 2x1 gig in slot one and slot 3 they are color coded leave out the other 2 gig stick then you should have duel mode on.

Nitro-Max has it correct.
I would just run the 2 1gb sticks for now. Heck, you could sell the 1 x 2gb stick for the price of another matching 2 x 1gb set. How did the bench go with two sticks? Also I'll throw in this link here from Microsoft in case you need it. Link.

your first SLi build will be an interesting one i can tell you that much. SLi is in no way for n00bs, youve really got to want to get the most out of your system to see SLi shine.

and i can attest to how awesome 400x8 on your cpu is, and in sync with your ram too.....should really see the potential of those cards come to the surface.

Bjorn_Of_Iceland · Feb 20, 2008

Scores kinda low indeed. What resolution are you running on? Driver display settings on default? AA off and AF off?

@ 1280x1024 with default settings, I score 14,200 on a 3.0ghz 5-5-5-18-2t.. WinXP 32bit SP2 though..

Also, 3.8ghz still bottlenecks the SLI config.
