👍 WANT.

Me to. I've been out of town all week, back long enough to install them and had to leave again. . At least my water locks will have arrived by the time I get back.

 

[Pako]

Well, finally got to get home and tweak a bit on the cards. The water blocks were waiting for me but I still haven't put them on yet. Honestly, I have these cards OC'ed and maxing at 65c which is a great temp for air with a fairly aggressive clock on them.

Jebuz! And here I sit with my integrated HD4000.

Bench that SOB! Let's see what she's got!

 

[TB]

767. RAWR!

I'm downloading a video driver update so we'll see if that does anything. I might be able to break the 770's!

 

[Pako]

Make sure to get a good overclock on that CPU first!

Only 128 more than my desktop scores with an Athlon 64 x2 and an OC'd 6450.

Nice 👍
Hopefully soon I can re-do my run

Can't wait to see it!

Is that with an OC'd processor (As it says 3770k @ 3500mhz)? If not easily can probably reach 20k+ with that graphics score + CPU OC.

Under load the CPU bumps up to 4800hz. Not a lot of room left there unless I want to bump the voltage above 1.3 which kind of scares me. For a bench, I can get a 5.0Ghz clock (sometimes).

 

[Carlos]

I'm very impressed!

You have changed your ram between the tests? And why only still 16gb? Or doesn't that matter with these kind of tests? (noob)

As far as ram, speed and latency is more important than quantity. In fact, it would probably bench better with 8gb instead of 16gb to be honest.

I am running stable timings on the ram. There is better ram that would clock better, but I am close to the top end there.

4.8 let alone 5.0 is impressive for an Ivy Bridge, especially at that voltage. Good chip there. 👍

4.8ghz has been my 24/7 setup since I got it. Yeah, I did get lucky on this one. My i7 was a dawg.

Darn, just got my 780's mounted and good to go, aaaand I can't bench it with 3DMark 11.

Getting this error:

"Could not load file or assembly 'EvaDotNet.DirectX.dll' or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)"


Anyone know how to fix this?

 

[Pako]

Run as admin. Also, if you have the SLI bridge installed, make sure SLI is enabled in the control panel.

I do have enabled it.

When I ran it as admin, it got me the same error.

 

[Pako]

I had some issues the first time I ran it as well in my Windows 8 install. Trying uninstalling 3DMark11 and run the install again, but this time run the EXE as Administrator as well.

The nVidia Driver files might also be corrupt from the initial install. If 3DMark11 re-install doesn't help I would:

1.) Turn off the computer.
2.) Take off the SLI Bridge.
3.) Reboot computer and test each card individually.
-Plug monitor into card one (should already be there) and test.
-Turn off comp and plug monitor into card two and test.
4.) If they test fine individually, I would reinstall the nVidia drivers.
-Be sure to go to advanced install and select a "Clean Installation" so it uninstalls the previous driver install.
5.) Power down after install and reinstall the SLI Bridge (again making sure your monitor is plugged into the first card.
6.) Upon reboot, enable SLI in the nVidia control panel.

D'oh. Can't be bothered doing that now. Maybe some day later. Right now i'm gonna enjoy my new cards!

 

[Pako]

. Right on. I'll post up a newer, win7/win8 friendly bench tonight.

 

[ShaZZa]

Not too bad

 

[Pako]

Not too bad

Will comment later when I get to a comp. 👍

Ok, well.... Now that I have picked my jaw off the floor, I got nothin man but wow!

I am very curious if you have had a chance to check out any BF3 in Quad SLI? My 590's wanted to play it so bad, but in the end, I always had to disable one of my cards to get it to play without stu-stu-stuttering.

Air? Water?

My 2 GPU's just can keep up with your 4 GPU's.

Be sure it head over to the FFX benchmark thread and throw some benches at it. I'll be sure to setup some 4-way SLI resolutions stats, just for you. Run some single card SLI runs to, would love to see how they stack up against the 780's.

Oh and, pics or it didn't happen.

👍 haha cheers.

I don't have BF3 but I think someone I know does so I'll see if he can sign in on my system an get some stats/bench resaults.

GPU's are air, CPU is water.

It was a pain setting everything up. I can post a pic.... but beware, if you like cable management look away. It's a mess.... atm. Just had to put it together for now.

Might be time for Pako to get another card

 

[Sharky.]

Mother of god... overkill much?

 

[Phoenix]

Not too bad

4 x 690's???

I'd love to see some pictures of that!

 

[Pako]

It's actually 2x 690's but who's counting right?

Yes, I would love to see some pics also! And yes, I have already scoped out what it would take to integrate a third 780. Muwahahahaha

Well it said # of cards 4, so I took that for granted.

Don't go there yet, I don't have the money to keep up yet.

 

[Pako]

Well, lets just say that a third card right now would mean a complete overhaul of my system and that is not something I am prepared to embark on. Waiting on next gen of processors and chipsets.

Yeah, I guess I better start saving then...

I'd love to get a new motherboard (which can handle 4 GPU's), CPU (with cooling) and of course a new PSU.
