    Tri Sli to single card solution

    Actually, I found one with an 290x. Close enough

    Tri Sli to single card solution

    Does anyone know of any reviews out there that still have even just a straight 6990 in it as compared to the 290?

    Tri Sli to single card solution

    Thanks. It is the r290x that was at 700 or above. But appreciate the list as I was not aware of some of those sites. I am hoping that I don't need a r290x. Too expensive. Yet I am not convinced that an r290 will match what I have. IT looks like I may be better of with an Nvidia card...

    Tri Sli to single card solution

    Thanks for the quick response. I haven't looked at the 780ti's yet, but the 290x cards run really high here in Canada. HAven't found one for less than 700 yet. I wonder what the power draw on 2 X 760s would be? Although, I would really like to get away from dual cards. My current setup...

    Tri Sli to single card solution

    I am hoping to get some group advice here so that I can make a quick decision. I am trying to do the reserch to compare my setup with newer cards but it is proving difficult because the results are rarely in the same comparison charts. Basically, I currently have a 6990 and 6970 in Sli...

    PNY XLR8 8800 GT 512MB Video Card

    I want to put two of these things in sly but finding one of them was hard enough.

    PNY XLR8 8800 GT 512MB Video Card

    I had the 320 MB version. I was getting 12 FPS with the same settings. That is unplayable. At 22 FPS the game is perfectly playable in MHO. I was stunned because I paid less for this card than for my GTS and it kicks the GTS' but. Besides, I had the game maxed and visuals are beyond any...

    PNY XLR8 8800 GT 512MB Video Card

    Just traded up my BFTG 8800 GTS for a PNY XLR8 8800 GT 512MB Video Card. HOLY &**% Unbelievable. I'm running it at 700 and 1000. Ran the Crysis benchmarking program with everything set to High at 4X AA at 1680 X 1050 and got an average of 21.96 FPS. Coolermaster Conros 1000 with 6...

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    Orthos 2 hours. Unfortunately according to Everest (apparently far more accurate) the cores are at 57 and 58. Not bad for 3.6 on air I guess. Probably a little warm for 24/7 use though.

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    Sorry Lethal....don't really do forums much...just starting to read and post more often. What is the best program to use with this processor for reading temps? Is there anything out there that is accurate? BTW I am at 3.6 stable for about 1.5 hours. 1.4 volts.

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    Coretemp Beta .95 reports 18C Idle. I live in Canada and my ambient is 18C. I wanted to be sure the reported temps were accurate. These are my specs. Coolermaster Conros 1000 with 6 120mm fans Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler Asus P5N-E SLi E6750 at 3 GH (FSB at 1500) BFG 8800 GTS OC 320MB...

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    OK at 1500 FSB for 3.0GHZ it idles at 18C and after five minutes of Orthos it hits 34C. In Addition I ran 3DMark 05 on the E6600 with default install settings with the E6600 at 3.0GHZ and got a score of 16156. With the E6750 at 3GHZ I got 16523 which isn't surprising considering the faster...

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    Quick question. Please don't laugh as my teachers always told me no question is stupid =-) I have heard that CPU's need to "burn in" like a new engine in a car. That I shouldn't OC until it has run at stock for several days. True or false?

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    Guy called me back and he is now going to be 3 hours so that gives me some time to play. I ran some real rough and fast benchmarks on the E6600 clocked at 3.0GHZ and then swapped in the E6750. Right off the hop I can say that the E6750 is MUCH cooler. At idle with my E6600 at a 1333 FSB X9...

    Quick Question Re: E6600 vs. 6750

    I have the opportunity but have to act within an hour. Should I keep my E6600 or upgrade to a 6750 for 20 bucks? Given that the E6600 has a higher multiplier will it OC better? Which is hotter? Any advice would help given my extreme time limitations to choose.
