Gigabyte P55-UD3l socket 1156

currently 650w true power...if not enough i`ll change it later

Sorry to tell you your Mobo only can CrossFire only

hot damn well...more excuse to change my mobo then..thanks for the info bro

btw, looking at your signature...any good flight game you can recommend? either flight sim or battle game. thx again

Sorry to ask..

Just wanna know when exactly gt300 will be launch? And when will we get the chance to posses it?? hehehe..

just wanna ask can a same card but different variant be sli?same brand,same chip,same memory amount but different core shader and die.
in my case a gtx 260(216sp) and gtx 260(192sp).thx.

you can sli bro but two GTX 260s (one with 216sp and the other with 192sp) can be SLi together,
but the one come with 216sp will downcloacked to 192sp...
so it will only utilize 2x 192sp....

guys, few questions here, i'm new to SLI

i got giga gtx275 another is palit 275

i realize the SLI connector on both card is not on the same level
which mean i have to bend my card/bridge connector abit
i try to draw on ascii format
| -- -- (giga)
|-- -- (palit)

is it normal? i can hook the bridge on them, but the bridge bend a bit

another question is

my setup is e4500, striker II extreme
5 hdds, 1DVD rom, 1 PCI sound card, 2x GTS275, 2xddr3
silverstone 560W enough for it? i did a calculation over psu consumption it is require 640w+ at least

@lennon, ur system kinda works on heavy load all the time. Bad for ur system health.. Even SLi GTX260 will be safely recommended for 600W atleast. I would say 750W or greater is the way to consider onto this setup. Single GTX275 required atleast 550W according to nVidia

Hmm..both used different PCB if like that. Using that Flexi SLi bridge is not a problem maybe, but only an issue for PCB bridge.

i not using flexi SLI bridge ler, the striker II extreme given is 3-way SLI (i doing 2 way only), it is PCB version

can i get flex-2-way bridge?

guys,wanna ask,are there significant benefit going for quad sli?i got 9800GX2 currently.using a 790i ultra sli mobo.i only play dota and rts style games.do these games take advantage of multi gpu setup?

another thing,i think my gpu fan controller died la.coz looking at evga precision and nforce control panel,both says 0% gpu fan.even gpu-z says the same thing.should i just plug the gpu fan directly onto the mobo(so full 100%fan 24-7)and add in zalman fan controller in between?idle at 60degrees,can't tahan liao.the fan is working (still spinning).

Dota this games are not Multi Core support Games..even your 9800GX2 also running single core in this game only...the another core inside will be sleeping mode......So your 9800GX2 will be like 8800GTS G92 512mb only if you play DOTA.


BTW no games so far are utilize Quad GPU Core...so 9800GX2 SLI will make your Games even more suck simple as say plus your PSu 750W are not enough for 9800GX2 SLi also

my 750W psu enough to support 9800gx2 quad sli la.checked the current ratings already.even in command and conquer series no advantage of quad sli meh?coz i wanna crank up the aa and af to the max.now 4x only

No games in world can fully Utilize Quad SLI. Not even new game Bad Company 2 ....So far Most Powerful still Tri-SLI in gaming...If got games really can Utilize all 4 GPU Core..i already SLI my 9800GX2 very long ago. So Far 4 GPU really works on benchmarking only

coz i'm thinking of having 2 9800gx2's in quad sli but 1gpu die on physx.so it's sort of 3 way sli but the 4th gpu dedicated for physx.but still,i dun have any games that utilize physx T_T

Then what are the purpose of having quad SLi when the game you play don't even tap the power of SLi itself? Its like you going to buy a car that can go 300km/h while most of the time you stuck in traffic jam doing 20 My laptop are more than enough to run those game you mentioned.

You can force AA and AF way higher than 4x, its just you don't know how to do it. You could force higher AA and AF to specific programs via nvidia control panel

erk?i know how to do it la.just the fact that if i crank it up to the max,current cooling won't be sufficient.even idle at 60-65degrees in a well ventilated case (all cable management,fan position,fan speed optimized already). that's why i ask if i go for quad sli,theoretically i would be able to crank up all the settings without having my gpus overheat.coz the processing power is shared,so by right less stress on each gpu and hence less heat.that's what i think not that i dunno how to force d aa and af .

Whoa that's a spark of genius, adding more heat to already heated environment. Theoretically it could lower the heat? Even common sense telling that it would HEAT UP even more. Have you even do some reading or even thinking first before posting that? Adding more cards will not cure the 'heating' issue you have, it going to make it worse. Have you checked how all the guys uses quad SLi, or even SLi cool their system? What kind of case you use? If you have so much money in the first place buy a roomier case or at least buy a high CFM fan to increase airflow that going in and out of the case

RegentCid already said not much games support quad SLi, having more GPU on one system won't, I say again WON'T make your system much cooler Its just adding more heat source without doing anything in return

EDIT: My advice is, sell that card, buy a single newer, more powerful GPU.

Brother....SLI make your GC even hother. my 9800GX2 now idle 60C on Gaming full load is 90C

Once SLI on idle is 64C on card1 60C on card2. On Load 95C card1 91C Card2.

ooo...guess i'll buy gtx 465 then.thanks!

Is 9800GT Idle 70C on aircond room is normal?
