OC3D Review: Nvidia GTX295 Quad SLI
- Thread starter JN
- Start date
Unbelievable frame rates! Nvidia rules!
Excellent review - very useful and readable 
I am in an odd position atm (probably due to being back on the bike today - but I digress). I have just built a new i7 rig and will soon be moving over to WC. However, the 295 I ordered was recalled and it was replaced (with option to swap back) with a 285. After reading up a bit more (I have been out of the OC scene for about 10 years
) I noticed that the 285 can get some insane OC's - especially WC.
As I will be using this rig to power 3*19" monitors in 3840*1024, would I see better results from quad SLI 295's, or triple SLI 285's ?
(I think the P6T deluxe board does triple - not sure about that yet)
Sorry to go on, but has anyone got a guide that shows how to set up WC loops for the CPU, GPU's and RAM? (Totally new to WC in case you hadn't guessed).

I do not think you will need this kind of overkill for such a monitor setup to be honest. You probably will only be playing a game on one monitor (?), so the real graphics performance is just on a third of the screen surface. I'd say dual 285 would be more than sufficient.name='garethar' said:
Personally I'm running 22+24" on a HD4850 which copes perfectly. Yes I have to turn AA down in most games, but apart from that I can max nearly everything out at 1920x1200.
EDIT: and make sure to post some pics of that setup when you reach 15 posts

oops, forgot to mention 1)it's *motor*bike
(doing 100 miles a day) and 2)I've got TH2GO, so all three screens are in use (hence the resolution of 15:4) When it's all set up and benchmarked (assuming I don't fry anything) I'll post a full set of pics and reviews for the kit. There isn't much out there when researching the th2go* really, might save someone some time.
*not wrt to 3 nineteen inch monitors with the thinnest bezels possible and the type of mounting kits that are around. The mounting alone cost £210 !!
aye, just as bad when the members say that too though
