TRI- SLI post your comments and results

Anyone here running tri-sli?

I am setting a evga 780i with 2 bfg factory water cooled 8800GTX i want to tri-sli it.
Anyone have any experince with running tri-sli?
Any new info anyone has seen on tri-sli drivers?

In my opinion, NO GAME is worth $1500 in graphics cards. You could build a whole system for that. I think in theory multi GPU setups is a great idea but if I'm paying for 2 video cards, naturally I would expect my performance to double and with 3 cards, triple. Also many games don't take advantage of SLI. In some games the benchmarks for Tri SLI were amazing at super high res and for other games performance increases were extrememly minute.

Also at the moment Tri SLI only works with the GTX. So it touches on a very small segment of the gaming community. Most people cant even afford one.

I think that AMD might be onto something with there spider platform. Not saying that its perfect and who knows, it could just be a big bust. I think AMD is really trying to hit the mid range segment and the 3850 isnt a bad card and if what they say it true: that with the spider platform, it will be completely scalable (skeptical, but I've heard so far it's pretty promising) up to 4 graphics cards (probably mostly speculation).

thank you zen i saw that when it came out

i was wondering has there been any improvment in triple sli or TSLI????

anyone using TSLI and found it too work out better then the AA article referenced by zen above?

if the computer runs crysis one frame faster then dual gtx then its improvement some people will pay for 1 fps

its not my place to judge what my customers want - i simply want to make sure tri-sli works and is not bugged.

the an and tech articel clealy shows it has advantagous - its up the each person to decide if they want t0 pay for minor ups

this reminds of the GT (G92) and GTS (512) thing - all the reviews are the GT is so great but the GTS is not when the GTS is way better the the GT - GT has cooling issues. same thing you read one review and everyone assumes its bad - anyone who has any experince with TSLI plz post

Look... Please read my post again... I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. I'm not arguing. I work in retail and the one of the key rules is to "not to sell out of your own pocket." I just simply laid out my personal and professional opinions. I work with clients that have no problem dropping 30-40k+ on home theater systems. Does it mean I would spend 30k on a system... no... but I have no problem selling it as long as its right for the customer.

So again... I just wanted to make sure we're on the same level and that I'm NOT ARGUING WITH YOU. Just want to make that clear and hopefully the link I provided you gave you at least another resource.

ya its funny - every system is ship i want to keep. if i do not want to keep it then something is wrong!

started on wed at 8pm shipped sat at 3:50pm overnight made it there this morning for christmas:

Well yiou do not need to buy i 780i to run Tri-SLi.You can run it on a 680i as long as you buy the tri-sli bridge. Ill be trying that as soon as i get the bridge. I just recieved CoolIt Systems new 12TEC Boreas liquid cooling system for testing & review. So far this puppy really knows how to cool. With a QX6850 i have temps in the teens at idle and mid 20c underload.I just finished this build this afternoon,so tomorrow ill see how high i can overclock the QX and how cool it will stay. 4.6GHz or 5 Ghz sure would be sweet,!

By the end of the week I will have a water cooled triple SLI running on my game machine.

Just waiting for my third GTX.

Can I have some of your money BadDad?

Aw...

I know my new career path.

What some people will pay for top notch performance for 2 months is ridiculous. Buy a car or something.

Am I blind or is there no card in there?

Ha ha, I envy your son. I am still running an x1950 pro, and don't want to upgrade till it's worth it.

Nice cabling there, you'd die if you saw mine.

Drivers shouldn't be the issue, though you do need to remove and reinstall them for it to work. It should just revert to 800x600 and the drivers disabled, not no screen at all. Is the screeen blank from bootup or only once windows starts?

You didn't answer my question Is the screeen blank from bootup or only once windows starts?

sorry - my cat says take more photos of her:

after samon sex:

dragon sprayer - Where are you located? How much do you charge to build? I'd like details please. Plz email me at ryanrubel@hotmail.com
Thanks

just so everyone knows the x1950 pro and x2950 pro swaped with no issue and i update the drives with no issues with any unistalling of the old card

plus i order another card from newegg there are only 7 left - 512/512 for $169!

hahahah yeah and mine

its like an obstacle course....for air!!

This gave me an idea. How about plug in GPU chips onto the PCB? For example you buy one one card that comes with one GPU but then has another socket (Much like a CPU socket) or another GPU to be added at later date, with the possibility of also adding more RAM.

Then again, it'd just become like a motherboard. I'll have to work on the idea and refine it a bit i reckon.

this is all off the top of my head so it may be a little off but its accurate

first most likely Christmas day is around march 28th - the birth of the christian savior

second- a 4th century pope decide to stamp out the pagans by overwriting their holidays, christmas day was now the old start of the ancient solstice holiday week. and the pagan forbid from dacing around the stones and such....

So back to your question, Christmas as we know it is a holiday derived in new york and that part of the east - it combines the German traditions such as yule tree and other things with typical American shopping and department stores. The decorations and such are mostly evolved from the eastern us traditional holiday of Christmas vs the southern and midwest thanks giving holiday.

In the late 1800's and early 1900's they where combined and uncombined by us presidents and since no one group wanted too loose T-day or Shopping-day we have both.

Now its currently evolved to the "holiday day" and such extreme pc-ness has things like circuit citys "count down to holiday morning sale" thats the day after christmas.

The original catholic versions it was day to whip yourself or other extreme measures to get close to god by reliving the passion. I think the worldly christmas is more the traditional european feast with local delicacy's.

in Mexico christams is really a 2 week holiday with the "lady of guadalupe around the 19th" and present day around january 9th.

So christams as we know it is really an American holiday - to the north the canadians have boxer day and south its a 2 week party. all the workers from el norte return home for month before sneaking back to el norte

So little of Europe even goes to church or believes in god any more that it really is not a a EU thing 0 is it? - investigate the ratios. 10% of old EU or western parts vs 53-60+% of americans.

asians have adoped american christmas too - which is shopping, parting and eating


well there u have it a few facts

I agreed and also no game uses Tri-Sli...
