Helo guys..
Im new in this SLI universe.. hehe
JUst building my new sli rig. My rig spec as u all can see at the bottom. No pic yet, but soon will.

My prob is i just get only 12k to 13k point w 3dmark06, on res 1280x1024, no AA, OPTIMAL shader. OC the card w riva tuner and Ntune from 600/1500/900 to 630/1515/920. Afraid to push more coz using the stock cooler. ive just set the fan to 90% both. My card temp raise to 80degree when at full load. Is that good or normal or what?

Bro slayerxt said that the point was so low.. and i agree w that. COz ive read a review in the net, also here, said they can get 15k+++. How to do that?
Can anyone show me the rght way to set the configuration plss.. really noob in this sli world.

And i only get 25 to 30 Fps in crysis, w res set at 1280x1024 no AA, High details, DX9. that the same point i get w a single card. Using the newer driver now, ver 175.16 for XP. Dont want to use vista yet.
For ur info, ive mod the shader mode in crysis file, its like a crack configuration i got in the net which adjust the shader and all that. So when i change the graphic detail to high in crysis, actually it wiil set to very high. As we know that very high setting can only set in Vista DX10 rght?

My Rig spec as u all can see at the bottom..
So any help, opinion, ideas are very welcome here..
TQ TQ TQ
 

Dude.. your score is somewhat low. Did u enable SLI mode in NVIDIA control panel? Although your mobo runs at x8, x8 SLI, it doesn't go away too far from x16 x16 SLI performance.... 

It seems that bandwidth is one of the factor. keep in mind ur  8x 8x mobo is version 1.1, not latest mobo with 2.0. U get 14k+++ is a good score already.

gears of war has issue with multi gpu's
even for ati crossfire..

actually their graphic requirement for single card is not that high

is that so? even i set up my rig to disable sli, the prob still persist.. malas la want to trow awy the 2nd card just for this game and put it back for crysis, a lot of work la..
but playing GoW  is fun too...

Hav any tried GRID? can it support sli?

If you want to get 15k+ 3DMark06, then you should OC your proc to 3.6GHz. You should be seeing 15.5K and above.

The crashing is not SLI-related. I've completed the game with SLI and so far haven't crash once yet. When the game crash, is there any error message?

Bro, read my post above. I've already put the guide on how to add SLI support for GRID.

some simple things to ask
1) 9800gtx+ vs gtx260 which 1 stand out?
2) is oc that necessary?
3) which mobo to use in terms of sli

thanks all
