QUOTE(dlwl @ Oct 8 2008, 01:21 AM) so basically if i only run on 17" or 19" widescreen sli can be said close to useless? i'm having a sli board now, but never make use of sli so far.. Not to say useless... More like u dun feel the improvement that much.... Just boost a bit onli.... Me too.... I also long time din use SLI already coz graphics cards are too expensive to buy and it keeps on changing very frequently.... So now, I'm just waiting for my rig to be fitted with the new parts I bought and c how much my Q6600 can OC.... For now, I think I will be changing chasis liao.... Who wants my chasis??? Perfect for WC coz lots of space....   |

QUOTE(evilme @ Oct 21 2008, 11:45 AM) i just wondering, if interest to 9800gx2 (quad sli), can my CM 850w modular psu handle the monster ... I believe there's no problem with ur PSU.... But for me, I rather go for 2x GTX 280s instead of 2x 9800GX2..... The performance on the GTX 280 is much much better than the 9800GX2..... My opinion anyway.... But if u wanna try, then why not?? |

QUOTE(evilme @ Oct 21 2008, 12:34 PM) the price for gtx 280 ... the cheapest i can get in spore is 1450 .... witfout warranty ... in msia 9800gx2 only cost 1200 wif warranty ... price does matter ... hai ... To me, the extra RM250 is really a minor issue.... unless it's like RM500 and above, then it's not worth it.... Just my opinion anyway.... But the 9800GX2 is not bad in performance... It's just that a lot of ppl are complaining about micro stuttering on these cards.... another issue is the FPS fluctuation is very very high.... So, to me, the additional RM250 will keep me more than happy for my rig's performance.... Btw, quad sli drivers aren't that good for now so I will stick to SLI.... Rm1450 is not a bad price for a GTX280.... Maybe u can search in the forums for a cheaper price.... I saw Leadtek GTX280 costs about RM13xx without Razer keyboard..... |

QUOTE(RegentCid @ Oct 22 2008, 09:11 PM) those want to 9800GX2 SLI is most stupid way of earth will do that Right on.... Even Tri-SLi is better than Quad SLi.... No games in this world will support Quad SLI for now and going Quad SLI will drop the games FPS |

QUOTE(VT-Ten @ Oct 23 2008, 09:58 AM) i wanted to go for quad sli initially. but there's really no gain for me running on 22" monitor. dropped that idea after reading the site. IIRC, some forummer bought 2 9800GX2 and regretted. sold it off thereafter. To me, Quad SLi is a waste of money bcos of the drivers.... Plus, microstuttering on this card aint a joke.... Most ppl who bought this card in the end changed to GTX280.... |

QUOTE(hawkl @ Oct 29 2008, 12:48 AM) i need some advice on my Sli OC. My card can't go beyond 660/1650/950. Pls help..... I think it is better to OC the cards individually and find the maximum clocks coz ur 2 cards might not hav the same OC ability.... |

QUOTE(mADmAN @ Nov 4 2008, 05:59 PM) NOPE....... Ic ic.... If like that, in general, all 9800GTs are single slots if it is designed according to reference.... I guess I need to do some catching up.... My next purchase will be my next GTX 280.... Zotac also has 9800GT single slots... i know coz im using the Zotac 9800GT Amp! which is a single slot...  |

QUOTE(hermit23 @ Nov 29 2008, 03:08 AM) For ur earlier post, yes i would say ur psu is too low for ur setup, it'll stress ur psu too much, heat-up etc, and in ur case its not enough juice. ur 850W will be fine to SLI gtx260 unless u r talking about Tri-SLI then it is a different story.... Get true power >550 at least, 600> best, ive used CM Real Power 550 for my Sli with 2 oc-ed 88gt's n oced proc, runs fine . . . though its a bit too much for the psu coz of ocing. Now im using CM 850 for my gtx260+ . . . single though, not sure if its sufficient for Sli.  Added on December 1, 2008, 9:38 am QUOTE(Eyern @ Nov 30 2008, 09:12 PM) 1000W too much for me bro. I'm not planning to upgrade my gc yet huhu. Just get a 750W PSU.... PSU nowadays are bloody cheap.... And yes, the power supply that u need to power 8800GT SLI is at least 600W and above....Bro, if u have dual GTX260.. u also u need a bigger case . Yeah.. probably insufficient power. I was thinking about what you guys said.. getting CM Real Power 650W (Standard) or CM Real Power 620W (Modular)?Time to upgrade psu pulak  This post has been edited by Aura: Dec 1 2008, 09:38 AM |

QUOTE(Mavrix @ Dec 30 2008, 09:42 PM) A Q here... I dun think this will work.... I remembered looking back at the NVIDIA website not long ago and it stated there that if u hav 1 GC, then u can add in another card for physx calculation.... If u r using SLI, then u won't be able to do this.....Has any1 here put another cheap GC just for running physx?? For example: 2 8800gt SLI connected via sli bridge, and one more cheap 8 series GC to run physx calculation.. I plan to make it work like this.. Check here for more info -> http://www.slizone.com/object/sli_cuda_learn.html Hope it helps... |

QUOTE(Mavrix @ Jan 1 2009, 09:28 PM) Thanx for da link bro... really helps.. My pleasure.... My hands so bloody itchy to get SLI setup....Added on January 2, 2009, 11:13 am QUOTE(subrok007 @ Jan 1 2009, 09:53 PM) i think might be history... cos GTX295 are design in SLI meaning that once u do SLI in GTX295 then it bcome quad SLI... GTX295 not duo core...but all in duo.. But I can't c the success for quad SLI for now just by looking back at the failures of dual PCB cards..... Maybe in the future but not for now.....This post has been edited by Aura: Jan 2 2009, 11:13 AM |
