    Extremely low 3dmark03 benchmarks from A8N in Sli

    Right, Re-formatted my machine, updated bios to 1003 from 1001 and installed latest stable nvidia drivers: 3dmark03 - 13k aquamark - 60k ish So it was a driver issue that could only be rectified from a clean install - this concerns me. Does this mean that when updating a driver for...

    Extremely low 3dmark03 benchmarks from A8N in Sli

    I'll give the beta drivers a crack, any idea why there is a different file size for U.S and International drivers? Localisation of languages?? I have checked the power supply connects and the EZ Plug next to slot 1 is definetely in. I've posted some info up on XFX support, I'll see what...

    Yes, both 6600GT's by XFX with SLI. The only non-identicle feature physically are the fan covers, one has a graphical image whereas the other is a chrome version. Even if they were not identicle (which they are), a single GPU should still post a high benchmark - which is why I'm assuming it's...

    Another thing worth mentioning is that although both cards are XFX GT's. they were purchased seperately and for some reason support different fan covers(Will check with XFX on this), this aside I really dont understand how both cards could be on the blink :confused:

    SP2 and DX9.0c are installed and the 3dmark03 version is 3.6.0.0. The bridge is installed securely. How would clearing the CMOS aid this issue? I have an inkling that slot 1 is the issue - anyone have any ideas how this can be tested without purchasing another pci-e?? Or will the best...

    Dual mode arrow is in the correct way, re-installed 66.93 Nvidia display drivers - No change to benchmarks.

    After enabling multiple GPU rendering use, 3DMark03 reports back 2700!!!!! If Slot 1 is toasted and slot 2 was fine then shouldn't I still receive I higher bench mark due to slot 2's processing power??? A second query regarding the sli mode selector card, in dual mode it is obvious to me...

    Extremely low 3dmark03 benchmarks from A8N in Sli

    Thanks for all the responses, the 3d Mark scores I quoted were references from PCS mag and Computer Shopper. I have run both cards in slot 1 indivually and the scores returned are around the 3k mark - does this imply a toasted slot 1??? I just found the setting for multi GPU rendering, i'll...

    Extremely low 3dmark03 benchmarks from A8N in Sli

    Hello People, I just built a new rig based around the A8N-Sli Deluxe and chucked in 2 XFX 6600 GT's. I am by no means an avid gamer but was intrigued by Sli so took the plunge. Today I ran 3DMark03 on my machine and in Sli mode I struggle to get past 5k marks - I would have never realised my...
