512MB GTX SLi Results Thread

[Ronin]

This thread is simply to provide some personal results (not some hardware site) with these cards. Tested system is in the sig (except all tests were run with the FX57 at stock speeds). If you feel the need to flame, just don't post.

BTW, if you want me to run any benchmarks not listed here (obviously, there are only a couple of games here), I'll be happy to do so if I have the game (it's likely I will, so ask away). I'll edit this post with results from those requests as they come in.

48 fps for doom3.. but it must look gorgeous..

Was it 4x or 8x for the AA mode?

 

[Ronin]

Forced 8X in the nV CP (but I don't recall if D3 has problems with 8X).

05' with one GTX 512 @ 631/1800

Don't have the GTX 512 SLI score anymore but it was around 14.3k (@621/1800)

My 7800GT CO SE @ 521/1200 gets me just over 8.5k. I'm impressed with this card so far. Should hold me over nicely until I can get my hands on 2 G71's.

Not too shabby.

Just to clarify, the "max AA" you said is "8x," is that the AA formerly known as 8xS (single-card, not SLI AA)?

BTW, the ol' Seasonic turned out to be stable?

 

[Ronin]

So it seems, Pete...thus far, anyway....no dimming LEDs when I benchmark 2k6.

I'm still setting 8xS in the CP (in addition to Gamma and Transparency).

i think to enable SLI AA you need to use coolbits and have alook in the drop down menu for SLI rendering modes, amidst the AFR, AFR2 SFR modes you should see a SLI AA mode.

so i think setting 8xAA in the CP in the P&Q settings is just 8xS AA that a single card would do, only now you have 2 doing it.

I did have SLi enabled (via going to Advanced Options), so the results *should* be accurate, but I'll take a look later today.
