Coffee999 Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 I'm thinking about getting another 7800 gtx and doing the sli thing. I've read a lot about sli and LO, but most are old messages when sli didn't work too well or at all. So has things changed for LO with sli? Does it work, do I need specific drivers, is there a sli config file now for LO? Thanks for the help.
The_GOZR Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 yes it does.. My best result are with 92.91
Coffee999 Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 Thanks G Tell me, what kind of improvment did you get by SLIing. Thanks for your help :-)
The_GOZR Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Double.. really Now if the 7800 GTX is cheap of course or you can go with better which would be the new 8800GT wich is an hair shorter than the GTX for half price.. around $ 250 to 300.
51GRIZZLY Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Double.. really Now if the 7800 GTX is cheap of course or you can go with better which would be the new 8800GT wich is an hair shorter than the GTX for half price.. around $ 250 to 300. Well GOZR i've been running Two 7900 GTO on SLI for allmost 8 month now and i would really like to know how you got your framerates doubbled and what Cards you are running SLI ATM. And im assuming you got your framerates doubled by going SLI and not by using a CPU going twice as fast. My expirience SLI wise with LockOn has not been anywhere near Double, in fact its allmost the same as when i ran the game on a single 7900GTO. Whether i run Lomac on single card, Alternating or on Splitframe the framerates only differ slightly, so i stick to single card mode. Games, supporting SLI, on the other hand run fantastic. Im running the latest Nvidia Driver ATM so If it only takes a rollback to 92.91 ill be happy to do so.
X_Man Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 There is a big misconception about SLI. To begin with - adding a second video card doesn't double your frame rate (that would mean 100% efficiency). Also, your performance depends on your motherboard chipset. The 680i chipset is the only one that will utilize all 16 pipes per video card in SLI. The X38, P35, Nforce etc... all use 16 in non SLI but 8 per card in SLI mode.
