Since we're only listing nVIDIA based systems. 🙂

Ronin- if you have Crossfire, LMK- I'll add you to the OP.

I had to take the Crossfire solutions out of the poll because the fanATIcs thought it would be somehow "good" to misrepresent their (non)ownersip of Crossfire.

WTH LOL :laugh:

How do you know the nvidiots aren't doing the same?

*laughs at thread and Rollo*

btw, I haven't read the whole thread (just a few first and last posts).

Maybe you should also rename this thread then...

 
As in my sig, bought the PNY card in August for a then good price of $520, then got my leadtek off Ebay for $400 last november. Very happy with this setup.

You can't link to me saying "I get reference cards free". Know why? I never have

Here ya go:

Errrr, my cards come from nVidia themselves, Santa Clara return address? I've never made any secret of that, and probably wouldn't have "reference 7800GTXs" in my signature, reference 6800GTs before that, and reference 6800 before that, and posted pics of all if I were trying to hide this?

:laugh:

This will give you a chance to explain this statement, since you never did in the other thread.


That is a daming statement... I don't believe Nvidia "sells" to the public fromt their Santa Clara address? So, how can I get SLI for free or Xfire for that matter 😛
 
Let's see:

Hardware reviewer for at least a semi-reputable site
Game Developer
Hardware manufacturer (Asus, MSI, etc)
Have a friend that works there
5 finger discount

Take your pick.

AND, you ARE able to get cards PURCHASED from Santa Clara, as I said earlier, but it's a select bunch that can.

Personally, I haven't bought a video card for my system since my GF3 Ti500.

It's OK NTS, Let Rollo make his e-penis bigger by taking ATI out of the poll. 😀

/joke
 
I have a feeling the guys with SLI that posted in the thread are a little more credible than the anonymous votes nts.

They had, and still have the opportunity to be counted.

All they have to do is identify themselves?

<crickets chirping>

Thanks for the effort Ronin.
 
I have a 7800GTX NVidia card, single, and I love it. I was disappointed with the X1800XL benchmarks and wasn't going to wait for the X1800XT to come out AND the price to come down.

That said. . .

Rollo is the biggest troll I have ever seen in any of the discussion boards I've been on. This includes biggees like Slashdot and Fark, and a host of BBSs. I mean I've read through post after post of this NVidia nonsense and I swear Rollo believes that it will lead him to salvation as surely as Bevets believes Christ is his savior.

This thread is worthless. Every thread started by Rollo is petitio principii. The conclusions of his arguments are the same as his premisses. . .

Thank you single card owner for entering my thread of "Who has Multicard" to tell us you like your single card, and don't like my posts. We are all thrilled to know both, perhaps if you call AP you can get your pithy ramblings on the 10pm news?

I had a 7800GT SLI system, so i voted for that. Felt that it was way more power than i needed though, and ended up selling one of em 🙁
 
I'm probably going to buy a Crossfire board maybe the DFI LANParty UT RDX200 CF-DR, but I might wait for the RD580 CF edition.

I look through this thread and see supposed "intelligent members" throwing poop like a pack of chattering monkeys, and I can only shake my head in wonder.

Oh well. When I wake up tomorrow, I'll still be me, you haters will still be you. I know which option I prefer. 😉
Stop calling names. Post up a scan of the receipt for your videocards which you proudly claim to have paid for and I will drop it. Until we see the receipt we are forced to conclude you are a member of AEG/Nvidia's marketing division.

If you have any doubt about the videocard I claim to own I can post up MY receipt.

The ball is very much in your court and no amount of namecalling is gonna bail you out of this one.

Cool, the old guilty until proven innocent law.

Let's turn the tables like how it should be. Does anyone have any evidence that Rollo was given his cards?

I didn't think so.
Well, here is Rollo saying he gets free stuff from Nvidia. Is this enough evidence? screenshot

 
Well. As soon as I have £800 I'll be picking up some X1900XTX's. Although, with any luck, by the time I can get that together, they'll have dropped in price. Having read through this thread, I'd say I'm one of the closest to having Crossfire here. And. Well. I'm only a motherboard down the tracks, which, by the way, has yet to let me down.

slightly off topic. Who cares where Rollo gets his cards. Jesus. If he was given them free, or if it he paid for them (I don't care which, TBH, I bet a lot of people bitching about him possibly getting them for free are just having e-penis envy..:S), it doesn't make his opinion any less valid. It is, after all, an opinion. He could sit there and scream about SLI being great until he was blue in the face, but I just wouldn't be listening, because I plain don't care what he prefers. I like ATi, always have done, and no amount of nV fans/employees/rabidzombifiedfans will tell me otherwise.

If he is employed by nVidea, so what, he gets stuff cheaper (Or even free, whatever) than you. Just means he's in a better position. You'd all be exactly the same, were you in his position. If nV gave me 7800 SLI for less than retail, or even free, I'd probably find no problem with the setup, because for what I put in to getting it (Nothing) and got back (7800 SLI) there would be no room for me to complain, as indeed, there would be no room for the rest of you to complain.

Also, Rollo, I'd be damned impressed if it was Carmon Electra that gave you your SLI after leaping from a green Huey or something 😀
Probably a damnsite more envious, too.
 
i have 2 eVGA 7800GT's in SLI and love it. can't wait to watercool those bad boys too 😀 . btw, does my voodoo5 5500 rig count as sli? i mean it has two gpu's 😉 just wonderin'....

Wouldn't the fact that he has two unbranded 7800gtxs that he got at the release party be evidence?

he took crossfire off the poll.....
 
I got two identical 7800GTXs, two identical 6800GTs and three SLI boards.
My next purchase will be nForce5, AM2 and two G80s and the sooner the better.
What can I say, NVIDIA for life!😉
