A single 6870 is besting two 460's . El_Capitan must have something wrong with his system if a single 6870 is beating his 460's . It doesnt make sense :doh:

But either way , I still beat ya Warweeny :teehee:

Nyt, you're not going to like this... after seeing my GTX 460 1GB's in SLI getting beat by a single HD 6870, I knew something was wrong. I came back to duel with my duals with a passion!

 

It seems that MSI Kombuster doesn't see my GTX 460 1GB's in SLI no matter what, even when running in Multi-GPU:

El_Capitan 21340 points (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 895/2140/1790)

El_Capitan 21464 points (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 970/2140/3880)

Nyt Ryda 23464 points (HD 6870 @ 1040/2460)

Nyt Ryda 61494 points (HD 5970 @ 924/2542)

However, it seems it has the opposite effect with your old HD 5970 for FurMark, and it finally sees my GTX 460 1GB in SLI:

El_Capitan 3290 points (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 895/2140/1790)

El_Capitan 6224 points (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 970/2140/3880)

Nyt Ryda 5403 points (HD 6870 @ 1020/2480)

Nyt Ryda 4272 points (HD 5970 @ 924/2542)

Running Stalker Call of Propyat DX11 Fullscreen at 4xMSAA and AA for A-tested objects DX10, HDAO, high SSAO, and tessellation enabled also finally sees my GTX 460 1GB's in SLI correctly. I must have been testing it wrong. Either way, it nearly ties Nyt's HD 5970:

Unigine Heaven v2.1 Fullscreen 8xMSAA and 16xAF, tessellation normal and highest settings everything else at 1920 x 1080 resolution, I need to keep trying, I keep getting an error at the same point, even if running in single GPU, not sure why, I even tried uninstalling and re-installing:

El_Capitan 29.3 FPS 737 points (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 895/2140/1790)

El_Capitan N/A due to error (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 950/2120/3800)

Nyt Ryda 29.3FPS (HD 6870 @ 1010/2420)

Nyt Ryda 43.9 FPS 1106 points (HD 5970 @ 924/2542)

 

3D Mark 11 Performance preset - it seems this benchmark doesn't seem to calculate in my GTX 460 1GB's in SLI:

El_Capitan P4287 (GTX 460 1GB SLI @ 950/2120/3800) - http://3dmark.com/3dm11/382350;jsessionid=8CF7CD717268262772DA0771E6D48B7B?show_ads=true&page=%2F3dm11%2F382350%3Fkey%3DFH6xphTEN5LXfBsVCpj6Xdhja8KrAH

We should throw out Furmark, MSI Kombuster, and 3D Mark 11 Performance preset - as those benches seem biased towards single GPU's and/or either Nvidia or AMD. Even then, my overclocked GTX 460 1GB's in SLI can beat an overclocked HD 5970 2GB on actual game benches that aren't biased for one or the other... for nearly half the price!

 

My overclocked GTX 460 1GB's in SLI aren't fail, it's some of these benchmarks that are fail! I also need to run duels at 1920 x 1200 resolution, I lose FPS at the beginning because of my resolution switching. I can't set my monitor resolution to anything else than 1920 x 1200, so when it switches and the benchmark starts, I briefly lose FPS.

 

At any rate, we shouldn't make this the go-all and be-all of dueling threads. Whenever someone challenges someone else, it should be titled as that in a new thread.

 

For example: 2 GTX 460 1GB vs HD 5970 2GB! Overclocked Duel!

No I just think its a bias benchmark . I'll bench 3D Mark Vantage though. The battle is over anyway

 

got the score 20900 so i wonder what you will score :) it was on performance just like the free download version.

 

@elcaptain..... :O i wanna get a second card and challange nyt again! xD

im glad u retested ur duals capi... coz my 580 still pretty much owns it in almost everything.. thats further proof for me that 460s in sli, doesnt beat a single 580 like the reviews say.. but great score considering its not far off at all, and costs half the price to setup!

 

and i dont see how u beat the 5970 in stalker.. he bests u in 2 tests, and draw the other 2.. that means u lose

Ah, that's right. I was looking at max FPS and not avg FPS. My Furmark bench kills your GTX 580, though! :P

On my way to pick up a gtx 460 for physx and folding!!! Capi what's a good stable oc for folding???

I'm not sure. I fold with my GTX 460 1GB's in SLI, and sometimes they crash, sometimes they don't with any overclock. I never take them out of SLI to fold, I'm just lazy, I guess. However, they still fold pretty fast when not overclocked.

 

Of course, I watercool my GTX 460 1GB's, so I can keep folding with them at my highest settings.
