7900 GTX works at 650 MHz

the intels arent that hot any more...the 65nm process has done a lot for the heat output....my mates 940 runs about the same temps at 4ghz as my old x2 3800+ @ 2.8ghz did - both on water ;)

would you ever consider offering an intel setup phil? not that I have the cash, but a water/phase cooled 955 dual core extreme edition chip, asus WS mobo and dual x1900 cards = pure sexiness :D

Probably not mate in all honesty. The Intel SLI setups suck when compared to the AMD side of things in all honesy, and as Phil says they do generate more heat.

*cough* as Boardy says *cough* :D

Ask thicky how hot they run if you think they run cooler lol. He has trouble with his even on Mach 2 GT.
 
Fair enough - i know sli isnt really an option on intel chipsets, but crossfire performance is supposed to be ace!

Iv currently got an asus p5wd2g-ws and intel 920 sat here waiting for the cash to finish the setup!
 
Apparently, SLI works better than crossfire, so unless you want great single card performance - SLI is the only viable choice for overclockers.

Take the WR for single card X1900 in 3dm05 being 16200+, yet where are the multi GPU records? If crossfire worked correctly then it should be somewhere around 22000....... but then the old chestnut of being CPU limited comes into play also.

X1800 as a single card the performance is admiral - the crossfire solution appears not to work as good as it could on that platform either.

All that could change with the new ATI chipset, but right now there is only one choice for multi gpu and that's SLI.

Which is why I said that the winner of the next CPU round wont so much be based on the CPU, it'll be the one who has the best overclocking motherboard with the best multi GPU solution.... Intel compatable units have some catching up to do.

intel's sli user base would be huge if nvidia werent lame and locked out support for intel chipsets - the 955/975 chipset can do both xfire AND sli, aparently very well - but nvidia locked out intel chipsets in its drivers so that only nvidia intel chipsets can be used - and they SUCK hard.
 
lol, what do you expect mate? nVidia are out to make money, they not gonna add drivers to chipsets that are not there own ;)

Boardy
 
yeah - stupid thing was that they did used to support intel chipsets....but i guess they saw £££ and tried to cash in - hasnt worked tho, as nvidia chipsets for intel are rubbish and noone buys em.
 
Could the 24 pipes be ROP's with the card actually having 32 internal pipes perhaps?

Either way, hope the G71's up to the job, held off the X1900XT in anticipation :(
 
LOL Phil i must laugh you remind me of the bloke in the Fast Show carn't make up his mind what is best!!

I think it is fair to say the X1900 is one awesome card and will take some catching but crossfire sucks at the moment.If they can sort out it will be a very close match.Sli works so much better and when the G71's come out there will be only one winner in my mind.

well it seems cf is no longer cpu limited kink has new WR in 05 19442

ASUS A8R32-MVP (vdimm mod 3.35V, vcore mod 1.7V) ** X1900 CF 760/886MHz (watercooled). LN2 all over next..

Link borke as boardy says - impressive all the same.

But given that a single card can get 16200+ in the hands of the right person/cooling - I am surprised that only 19442 is possible with two cards.

The concern of course is that the 7900 will be neck and neck (or even slightly behind) in single card performance - SLI should yield higher scores in multi GPU though (SLI seems to be 50% efficient in 05, so sinlge score x1.5 should be achievable).

I'll certainly be gunning for that score I can tell ya (seems how I got 17200 with 7800 256megs - reasonable to assume that score is achievable with 512MB 7900's and 06 should go even higher.

the above score was with water i think when kinc put up sone ln2 score it will be closer to 21k which ant far off the 22k you want mav
