edjahman Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 I OC'ed my 7900 gtx to 705/880 and heres the benchies. 3D Mark 06---6647 Aquamark 122438 Are those scores good for my system?? I've never had a nice video card until now. Also, I'm running 2 PSU's. I have an Antec 500W Smartpower 2.0 running the card and my OCZ is running the rest. It's cool as hell. Totally Ghetto. Does anyone know if I could run SLI 7900 GTX's with the Antec 500W and the rest on my OCZ???? I dont want to buy a new PSU to SLI. I would be running 1050W and a lot of AMPS with two. I wonder how much the cards draw from the board. Thanks Guys. --EJM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
centy Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 That score compares nicely to mine at least I get 4344 In theory yes,the powersteam will be powerfull enough for both cards although god knows how it will react to 2 7900's in practise. 2 psus fit inside your Tsunami?

edjahman Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 No, one PSu was sitting on top of the case. I just disconnected it anyway. I got scared after reading that your should not power one component with 2 psu's. I was powering the 7900's pcie power plug with the external antec and the rest of the stuff with the ocz internal. It was running really great like that. I just ran some benchies and switched it back to stock <7900>. It seemed like a good idea. Does anyone know if I can do this without frying stuff?? Maybe I could power all of the fans and the drives with an external psu and the mobo and 2 7900's in sli with the ocz??? Thanks guys! --EJM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

edjahman Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 I dont believe you're getting 10000 plus in 3d mark 06. Prove it. --EJM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rd480 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 I wouldnt even worry about 3dmark05 or 3dmark06, those arent good benchmarking programs the most reliable graphics benchmark is DOOM3 TIMEDEMO DEMO1 BENCHMARK, 1600X1200 X4 AA X8AF . what does everyone score in that? if you are scoring less than 100 something is wrong, 3dmark in general is a joke.

Are you sure you enabled sli in drivers, and in dfi mobo bios? have you tried to run single card? just run one card in 3dmark05 then run sli see if fps improves.
