I thought I was going to be seriously embarrassed by TheeMahns setup, he has the SLI thing going for him.
Well whatever the case, it makes me feel special, even if it is a freek result I'm going to cry myself to sleep if somebody tells me to move the decimal place over to the left 3 spots

anybody what to know the secret? I'm not cheating. I'm a noob and I've probably half fried my vid card, maybe thats the secret

What Vid card do you have?

Nvidia 6800GS: I think there is a bit of trickery happening though... I have dual x screens set up ...running simultaneously.

My cousin had a 9600 pro and used to work circles around me before adding the 2nd card, I would imagine a 9700 to be even better. He just bought the same mainboard as me an 8800 GTS U or something like that it is 8800GTS. The U or something special I can't remember X2 4800, 2GB of the "bomb digity" ram he intends to hand me my a**. I have beaten 8800 GT's before, he insists the U or whatever it is is going to burn me. It is a personal war we constantly have I taught him everything he knows when it comes to computers. I should say I planted the seed he now takes the time to do research on a product before purchase he probably will get me, hate to admit it the student powns the master. I get to go over to his house Saturday and help him assemble it. If he joins the forum his nick will be Ironman. What if I "accidently" make a mistake and burn his 8800 up lol

One thing is for sure I will drop the AA and post higher marks if he joins.

possibly its the over clocked one. idk if they make a 8800gts factory oc'ed but i do know there is a 8800gtx factory oc'ed. if that is infact what it is and the 8800 gts is anything like the 8800gtx sorry to tell you but i would be prepaired to be dominated. ive heard rumors of twin radeon x1950's in crossfire (a powerful setup imo) getting owned by a single 8800gtx.

Sup all, I had to jump in on this one;). drama1981, you are correct it's an Oc'd version of the 8800GTS. Not the best but it's enough to have fun with .

Cheers....

Hmmm... ran it again from 1.6- extremely unimpressive, even moreso than from my 1.4 install

Over twice my original speed... I will own you if I have to buy 2 of your cards It will have to wait the ol ladys machine fried last night, lights come on but nobody's home, tried seating ram & vid still no POST, makes me think it's mainboard. What are these "testing tools" the old lady claims you have? I tried to tell her you have a ATX power supply tester, but she seems to think otherwise.

What Vid card do you have?

Nvidia 6800GS: I think there is a bit of trickery happening though... I have dual x screens set up ...running simultaneously.

Maybe it is counting frames on each xserver so it would be half of what you see. Never tried when I ran twinview.

[DaddyX3]

I'm sure your right. Even if I cut it in half, its still ripp'n right along. the 6800GS was a pretty good card back in the day
