Nice, now sleeve those cables and clean up that mess!

Looking good, keep us posted.
 
good god man!
i wish i had $1200 for video cards.... but then i'd need $2k for a monitor to make use of it.
Can't wait to see what kind of numbers you spit out.
I plan to pick up 1 GTX as soon as they are out, a second one in the summer and possibly a third come september.
 
Does the quad SLI work properly? I thought the Quad-SLI drivers didn't come out until the 25th.
 
nice build.
I wish I didn't buy 8800 GTXs at launch, I'd actually buy these otherwise.
Nice fitting too I must add (seriously). I love when people can pack big stuff into a smaller sized case, that's why I have a soft spot for shuttles :)

*DAMN* :eek:

I wanna see some benchmarks. WHat drivers are you using? The 174.60 just came out in beta yesterday. I thought SLI was not doable until the 25th.

Fun..Enjoy them.

Good start. I am sure as the 174's mature over time that they will give ya more performance. I don't know how many games support Quad SLI for the new 9800's. Nvidia Profiles as well.

I wonder if this breaks some kind of NDA with Nvidia since they are not "OFFICIAL" until the 25th :)
 
I love it... so Hard Core!!

I just love the way the cards look...

Reminds me of Blades going into an IBM Server! ;) Woof!!

First you guys crap on his cables not being sleeved, then you crap on his benchies.

Jesus...
 
Well both my 9800GX2's came in today. I went to install the first card and it is in conflict with my LSI MegaRAID controller. With the card installed, my MegaRAID doesn't work which means my computer doesn't boot.

Just great........:confused:

Thanks for the report!! :)

Have you installed SP1 yet on your Vista 64? It's at the Windows Update page now. I did mine today..
 
I have a GX2 coming in next week and I have a 780i and 3 way bridge lets see if sexta-SLI works!

I was not shitting on his numbers. I said it's a good start. <G> It always starts of kind of slow, then as drivers mature, it gets much better.

Remember back when the 8800's first came out and drivers were not tweaked yet? Now one year later with better driver support, Windows Vista 64 w/ DX10. The Sky is the limit and drivers will only mature for the 9800 series.

So... Good numbers so far. :D

It won't. The 9800GX2 is only capable of quad SLI operation. Take a look on the boards and you will see there is only one SLI connector. For tri-SLI you need two connectors, ala 8800GTX/Ultra.
 
Those crysis, right? Good god someone finally able to play that game maxed.

Dan, you gonna re-install the OS?
 
Hey Airman what base you at and good god what Yorkfield are you using to get 3.8?

Edit: EP2 just cuz I know it will be insane - also how about Bioshock
 
looking very slick, its nice to see people interested in the 9800gx2 insted of just bashing it.
 
All things considered, do you think your rig is as fast as you thought it would be before you built it? Does Crysis play "like it was meant to be played" in your opinion now?

Comments from you?
 
Still a little disappointed, but I am coming from 3-way SLI, doesnt get any faster, I mean no setup can beat it. I think drivers will improve, Quad SLI is not supposed to be till 25 Mar anyway....I am happy overall though, COH runs great 1920x1200 MAX everything
