*Official SLI / CF Thread*

[Mez]

You should add hybrid sli/cf since many people don't know what it is.

Anybody got any questions they need answering, or any questions they know the answer to that I can throw into the FAQ area?

Here's my SLI rig;

God if the lights in the picture hurts my eyes, I don't want to know what its like irl O_O

fitseries3 at techpowerup successfully quad Crossfired 4870x2s and used a GTX 260 for Physx.

This post describes how to do it.

Wow, looks like a beast!

Any benchmarks for that rig mep?

Yeah, that's all he does is bench.

 

[Respital]

That's a good bench. Although i have no idea what's good on the new vantage.

That's pretty high for the performance setting.

 

[bullzi]

That's insane, I can't even imagine the gameplay on that. I can totally max out FC2 and I get extremely playable framerates on a single 4870, can't wait until I have two

 

[Scubie67]

I guess its an all right benchmark. I figure he is doing the best he can.Bless his Heart

Thought I'd bump this, in case anybody had any good FAQ's I could put in there... Also, maybe sticky it? I see a lot of people making threads asking about SLI and CF...

Eeeww! Outdated technology!



Yeah, if you wanted. Or you can have two monitors, both using, both video cards.

What do you mean old technology? what card is that?

8800 Ultra I think

how do the 4870X2 breathe?


Also, what works better, GTX 260 SLI or 4870 CF

Thats not much of a gain. I score 24xxx at 3.8 with only my 2 cards, no physx card.

From what I've seen, Physx can give you a 2 to 3K increase in your score. I posted it mostly cuz I though it was cool that he successfully enabled 5 GPUs...it took some work but he got it running.

Pretty informative thread, sticky worthy I'd say.
