^^ thanks for the links, yeah it is kind of funny, i remember those links, but truth be told, all these tests are showing that Multi GPU's are CPU bound, in fact I can state that too because running my QX9650 at stock comparing to 4.2 yields a huge 20 FPS drop at 1920X1200 on crysis war head...

Yes.. but 3 GTX 280's are with NO AA are getting 12.88? All Im simply stating is its not a fair review for any of the benches because there being CPU bound after one GPU. If you notice Crysis is getting 12 FPS for a single, dual or tri sli. Something is definitely wrong with that...

^^ updated info on my original post, They were using stock settings for the CPU and FSB... You cant really benchmark multi gpus while running your CPU at 3.2 ghz (why would you even buy a extreme proc?) My scores are with my QX9650 at 4.2 ghz , at 2560X1600 , on the one out of many other...

LOL this is a joke of a review, Obviously something is wrong with most of there benches, like Crysis 2560X1600 at very high they get 4 fps with 3 GTX 280's ? On my system with QX9650 @ 4.2 ghz and 3 gtx 280's I get a 30 frame avg in game, on the benchmark i get 32.74.... They obv have driver...

Thanks for the response, Actually the clicking isnt like occasionally , it happens all the time when theres a display on the screen and its pretty annoying, I guess I will be returning it. What a pain! thing was huge to lug around in my car lol

Hi guys, Just bought a Samsung 305T, so far the PQ has been really nice, I really dislike S-IPS SSE and SDE effects (silk screen effect/screen door effect) These are common in Rear Projection tv's and drive me mad. Anyways I decided to go with the 305t. After hooking everything up- the...

^^? WTF lol im not here to say mines better than yours cuz frankly i could care less what you have. I dont buy things to please others, I buy them to please me. And no where did i disresepct anyones opinion. Also how do you know know im not going to be buying a Dell FP 3008 soon? Do you some how...

I havent heard of major gtx280 problems....Where are you getting this from? anywa doesnt matter as im goign to be WC them. But if a card dies its under warranty. Then again its hard to tell whos telling the truth and whos BS'n just because of hate etc.

It didnt really help:( Tehre using a QX9650 at Stock.... You need to OC that thing at least to 4 GHZ to get juice out of multi card. And Many of the benchmarks I beat with my last 8800 ultra setup lol. Kind of a a crappy review, I wouldnt go on that too much. If you check out Driver Heaven's...

LOL Did I not say Im that kind of guy? Secondly I will be buying a 30" monitor soon. I'll be watercooling this system. LOL Going back on topic, what you guys think 4870x2 CFX or gtx280 tri sli

So in canada I can get 3 280GTX's for 419.00 X 3 I can get 2 4870x2's for 615X2.... So what should I get, I am building a new PC and choosing a new motherboard too, So do I go 790i and 3 280 gtx's or x48 and 2 4870x2's And please I know this is over kill.. Im that kind of guy:)

^^^ Haha! I actually cut the trolling part out- after I read the whole thread- I only read the first post - :) Ive learnt to read on before "judging" trolling or not! But I dont know what the 4870's OC is, but im prob the one trolling right now, but after reading all the news from nvidia, I...

LOL Being a complete Nvidia Fanboy- I will tell you that Nvidia has dropped the ball recently- the 8 Series was amazing but the 9 series sucked, and then they had the supposedly every laptop chip failed, Which i dont think is true. And then many 790i's had tons of issues and many...

HOLY Fu** thats awesome! The only game they need to fix is crysis now- which can only go so far I guess with amd structure.

LOL You obviously werent reading...but Tornado Level is a PHYSX level...So there showing what it is to use CPU vs GPU i nthat level. If you play on a normal level- and see those benchies you'll see you loose over 30-40% frames....from 60 to 35...
