Just a guess. I know I'm having trouble finding time to bench s775 for this, but it will be done. I will also post up my best score from the first session to hopefully motivate people with a big enough single card score to be worth trying to beat.
My 775 boards are crap so i'm using my i7 rig.... can't get a second card on it cause of the way the board is layed out and how the back support rod on the tech station is in the way, and I don't have a short SLI bridge to put them side by side using the second slot. Besides.... with some of these guy's using pots on their cards for cooling I don't stand a chance anyways LOL... but i'm still trying!

Actually if your 790i will play nice, you could put up some very respectable scores, but you are fsb limited with your quad. Plus with the cpu limit, you can get really close to the big boys with the perfect run.

LOL.... Not with either of my 790i's bud, ain't happening. :D

but in your sig it says your Q9770 is overclocked to 4.27? isnt that near enough to the 4.2 limit :)?

Jeffro64 07-06-2009 08:29 AM
Oh.... that's my desktop rig, i'm benching on an i7.

Can you spare a little time for msn tonight? I'll see if I can't talk you through a run. Maybe then you will feel the motivation to start kicking some ass :D

Sure.... Just installed my second 280, I found a flexable bridge. But for some reason i'm getting worse scores with two cards than I did with one.... and thats with the same OC settings and LOD tweaks and all.

lol welcome to the world of 01....

do me a favor.... run each card one by one.... and see if one scores less than the other jeff

Jeffro64 07-06-2009 09:08 AM
Thats what I was thinking about doing.... I still have another 280 to try out also. I was wondering if I might have had a bad card when they were all three in my desktop because of performance issues. I just always felt like I should have been getting more out of them.
