Probs with 8800 GTX In Sli

[Clunk]

Twas the cards that did it. Took em back to scan who did a quick test and confirmed the problem. Replaced em with EVGA versions and just benched at 14509 at stock values, but I know i can do better

did they say what was up with them?

no, they just took them for a quick test (3dmark I assume) and came back with the same results. The EVGA cards work a lot better to a point but the sli portion of the 97.02 drivers are still crap and if you reboot after installing the drivers you take an extremelly large performance hit on the cards in single or SLi. Guess I just have to wait for Nvidia to get their fingers out and release a new driver revision.

The perils of early adoption. I hope you get it sorted soon mate

Badvok,

If you notice no performance issues in game it could be that the card's are not entering into 3d-performance mode and not adjusting their clocks accordingly.

To address temperature issues too, try downloading rivatuner and running the monitor in the background, this way you will be able to monitor the temperature and see if it is entering the correct clock mode.

Regards.
