Quinn Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/1900/screenyyt.png Getting SLI to work was really not that hard tbh. My second card gave me some trouble getting drivers installed for it, but it ended well. Benchmarks soon. Just to clarify for anyone who has no clue whats going on here, SLI and crossfire are technologies that allow multiple graphics cards to work together for a higher framerate (FPS). Nvidia uses SLI, and AMD/ATi uses crossfire. I have a motherboard that allows for crossfire, but not SLI. There is however a program out there that allows you to enable the use of SLI on a crossfire motherboard. Basically how it works is it changes the way the system sees your chipset, and fools it into thinking that your motherboard is SLI certified.
iBotPeaches Posted January 6, 2011 Report Posted January 6, 2011 Very sexy. If I ever want to get my 7.9, I'll have to crossfire mine.
gruntmods Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Very sexy. If I ever want to get my 7.9, I'll have to crossfire mine.or get a 580
Quinn Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 or get a 580 Meh. These babys get hot, after having a Crysis marathon (everything maxed), the inside GPU hit a max of 94' C, and the outside one hit a max of 79' C. The performance however, is incredible, Crysis was running a solid 60 throughout the whole time!

Quinn Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 I would consider a third party cooler. Other than WC, I don't think I can do much better than what I've got on it...http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125350

Quinn Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 lol we have the same monitor. Why not use all 6 of your displays available? XD Too much money And also, Nvidia are assholes and you can only do 2 displays per card (It was so that people would have to SLI for Surround gaming)And I doubt we have the same monitor, just the same resolution? REDSTAR CAN HAZ ALL UR COMP?My specs?Windows Xp1gb ramPentium 4 3gHz processorIntegrated Intel Graphics80gb HDDGot this computer in 2004 Hahaha, no ----On an unrelated note, I think I'm buying an extra 8gb of RAM, my current 4 just isn't cutting it for more hardcore gaming.

Quinn Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Posted January 9, 2011 Nice monitor aint it? When I play xbox on it, I turn the brightness up on the game tho. Yeah, its a nice cheap one (I got it on sale ) My only gripe with it is theres no HDMI. Oh well.
Randomrocket Posted January 9, 2011 Report Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah, its a nice cheap one (I got it on sale ) same! newegg? lol I don't care for HDMI, DVI is better in my opinion. I'd rather chose my own speakers anyway instead of using monitor ones.
