Not quite sure what to make of it. lopri is certainly no greenhorn when it comes to NV cards and SLI setups, so I trust he knows what he's doing. Maybe it has something to do with the 6200TC. I'd like to see what he observes in his SLI rig with a similar test.

I tried it overclocked(coolbits) and the only difference is while not running 3d Apps it is my 470MHz and while running 3d Apps it went to my overclock 485MHz. Memory did not change at all stayed at overclock 1125MHz. 3Dmark should an increase in score too like it should almost 150 points for such a small overclock lol

So maybe just a single issue with the OPs system.

Haven't dared to install the 90 Series Forceware for my main rig. I'd like to test it with different cards but currently I only have 6200s usable. My 7900 GT = Only good for 2D (Thanks to my greediness) I have no conviction on this theory so I just wanted more input from people who installed 90 Series Forceware. Currently on my setup with 2 different 6200s (below), however, this symptom is reproducible.

Opteron 148 @3.0GHz
OCZ PC4200 @300MHz (2.5-4-3-7)
OCZ GameXtreme 700W
DFI NF4 UT SLI-D
