Quad SLI Benchmarking

Post by soneil »

Hi guys. Has anyone tried running quad sli with 2 7950x2 graphics cards. My configuration is as follows:

2x Aopen 500w PSU
AMD AM2 4200+
4x 512MB Corsair 667 Gaming PRO
1x 160GB Seagate SATAII
2x Gigabyte 1GB 7950x2 in SLI
Nvidia Forceware 93.71
GA-M59SLI-S5 (NVIDIA 590)

I havent tried overclocking my system yet...time will tell. however my scores arent as good as when i was running one card only. i'm only getting 11146 in 3DMark 05 but was getting 13694 with one 7950x2. i'm getting 7615 in 3DMark 06 in SLI but getting 8084 with a single 7950x2. In Aquamark i'm getting 87168 in SLI but only getting 135577 with a single card. Any help in this regard would be greatly appeciated

the quad sli drivers are not mature and IMHO running quad is only for guys who want to run 2560 x 1600 with dollops of AA/AF - it doesnt really give you too much of gain at low resolution

right now quad sli is a waste of time im afraid - even if you get a gain of 10% its a waste cos you pay for two cards and dont gain as much as you paid

even sli isnt really all that it is cut out to be - unless you are an avid benchmarker - in real life gaming you are just better off with the best single card you can get
