Quad SLI Dilemna - Page 2

Dude, you may be right, but with the new bios even the classies are turned to 285 instead of 295 emulation. Plus, I had unofficial word that it may work. Very wierd thing is the only way I can get a screen is plug the dvi cable into the second card! Why it is reading 1 classie and 1 HC is beyond me ???

Rig looks sick though

Took some pics but they're on my old blackberry that doesn't have internet service and I can't figure out how to get the memory card into my new one

Would still like to know what is the TOP and what is the BOTTOM so I can at least be sure I have the quad sli bridge on the right way

maybe tomorrow.....

yeah bro, that'd be cool if ya wouldn't mind. If anyway can tell me how, or that I'm wasting my time, Shammy'd be the man

ps. I had the bridge backward :(

Thanks

Just put the bridge in the correct orientation. Still only get a screen with the DVI in the second card, and still reads 1 Classy and 1 HC ?? Could it be reading the tri sli HCs as one card ???

I could only wish huh lol

Not sure buddy. Kal is the only one I know on here that played with four 285's at once.

that's what I thought too bro - what is it I could be doing wrong? Just noticed that one of the non PCIe slots is missing a jumper so I'll try putting one on and see if that helps ... came, umm.. from the factory this way ?

Would be easy if they were not still so spensive :(

Crazy man im still seeing 275s going for $200 used in forums all over the place.

Before I joined OCA I would say they were never worth it... now I am on a team that makes me push for boints and I get it. Its just another level .
