if u have 2x8800gt in sli yeah u can use 1 of the cards for physics calculation..
but if u have a single card setup then tough luck dude

lol... ps ps, just wanna give an example of CRT lol

really that bad meh at 75C?

Added on February 19, 2008, 2:21 amthe 15C difference is for the load temperature only.

and ya, 6 fans very loud loor. LOL. luckily i still can tahan-i think.

if have constant loud noise.. its bad for ur ears....

if sli 8800gt how much power needed?510W enough?

I also need LYN Sifu to teach me, whether my ST56F 560W enough to SLI two 88GT?

st56f efficiency is bout 80 plus percent. so roughly bout 450 watt. On high load, i dont think so it will be enuf. If u check the usual configuration on nvidia site, they use at least 650 or 750 to be on the safer site.

Added on February 19, 2008, 11:16 amsogoatticus , ur temp on hwmonitor almost the same like mine. hmm. maybe it's my casing airflow. i need to mod it edy. When u play games like COD4, bioshock, wat is the load temp? mine got up to 66 c , and i think that during gameplay the temp is higher then when u minimize to check temp on hwmonitor. Am i rite?

if im not wrong, tat is not the way to calculate it... 560w is its true power.. and 80% efficiency means 560W is the 80% efficiency.... so it actually consume 700w electricity to produce 560w into ur computer IF u use all the 560w.... means 100w of electricity used only will produce 80w of power to ur comp... the other 20% energy is wasted into heat and resistant of the internal component....

but SLI shud be using abit better power than 560w... maybe 650/700
correct me if im wrong....

my casing only cheap powerlogic casing..bad airflow but i use Evercool rocket to blow my gc..it reduce the temp around 2-3C..30 ringgit evercool rocket...come get 1.. ..my zotac temp max i saw was 68C after straight alt tab from Crysis..come get ur rocket!!!

lol... thxs for the lesson sifu .... i though 80% X 560W was the true power ...

now i understand already

no problem... but im dont deserve to bcom sifu yet... still alot need to learn from those really expert out there..

the formula: (DC Output[to hardware]) / (AC Input[from wall]) = Efficiency

8800GT 1GB ASUS owner here! just bought couple days ago. I also wonder, where can I always check for the latest driver for tis gc? is there any local website? or international?

how bad the noise from fan la
aiyo few db only...
pain in the ass la u bro haha

how do u measire the DC output power used?any equipment/software?

get from nvidia website ma..

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

choose ur card and OS

to detect the real usage using equipment, yes....... software? i dont think so...... calculator, yes....

thanks for correcting me, hehe. Btw , any idea how to improve the air flow of my casing ? Check the pix here. Click here.

75C on load is quite good , im not meaning bad

Added on February 19, 2008, 7:51 pmim wondering why you bought that 1GB version gpu ?
your concept is bigger capacity = better ?

@Cartridgest
www.nvidia.com laaa~

yup..
there are virtually no difference in performance between 512mb 8800gt and 1gb 8800gt..
but if it's between 256mb 8800gt and 512mb 8800gt then the difference is like 20% or so

1 gb 8800gt.....how much does it cost?
