?'s about 3DMark06 and SLI, Plz Help.

[dorkfish21]

I built a new system:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz

ASUS Crosshair MoBo

Mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) with EPP Profile Dual Channel

(2 in SLI)EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX 768MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite

Windows XP Home 32Bit

I have not overclocked anything yet

 

I pulled a 11214(is this a good score) in 3DMark06, Does this sound right? 3DMark06 (free version, default settings) seems to only recognize one of my video cards, unless it sees the SLI as just one card?

 

The NVIDIA Control Panel has the SLI enabled box checked, but is there a way for me to tell if SLI is working for sure?

 

Thanks for taking the time to read/respond.

Sounds like 1 card to me I get 10800 with my 320mb 8800gts running 595/950.

 

You have to enable SLI in the nvidia control panel.

 

I take it you have SLI enabled in the BIOS & you have the link between the 2 cards.

 

Oh & the latest drivers.

Thanks Chump,

 

I do have the SLI enabled in the nvidia control panel.

 

I am pretty sure I have it enabled in the BIOS but I will check again when I get off tonight.

 

Also, what are the latest drivers, and should I down load them from NVIDIA or EVGA's web site.

 

Once again, thank you for your time.

Either but I would go with nvidia first as they made the thing.
