Wow, way to rely on an obviously bogus measurement. You really believe it is louder at idle than under load? lmfao.

Wow you're clueless. That's what happens when you make assertions on trivial differences between cards, you get corrected and brought back into the realm of reality. It's like saying "gee I see in randomreviewer.com's review they get .5fps more on card x, so I'm going to buy it" when it's well...

Did you bother to look at the charts? It's the difference between a few decibels... you're kidding when you imply it's too loud right? And it barely consumes any more power than 3870 at idle.. and actually less under load.

They said it's slightly overclocked. By default it keeps up just fine with 3850. Read the article and you'll get the answers you want.

That's totally illogical and invalid. You can tell when your ping is higher (albeit I don't think you can tell between the numbers you site) because of when your shots should've killed someone in a game and they don't die, the outcome is different than your expected outcome. The (questionable)...

lol.. why are so many people talking about this as though they know it's done? NVIDIA said they plan to do this, not that it is done.

Um.. your PSU sounds fairly unstable, and it might already be having bad effects on the GPU (underpowering electronics is bad news). I'd avoid running that system on that PSU asap...before you fry your motherboard or CPU.

Gee, no, SLI is the first two, not the game support. Of course it becomes useful when game support is there, but the game support by itself is by no means anything that can be productized.. only the technology can. My original point is you should be fair in the distribution of responsibility.

How long do you play video in SLI before the system locks up? Is it consistent? What's the expected time before it occurs?

Seeing that the issue spans 2 cards, I'm willing to bet your issue is your PSU. It's not necessarily that it's not supplying the correct power, but some PSU's (like some antecs) are known to have issues with not supplying power to 8800GT's correctly. Do you have another PSU to swap into the...

Eh? You can't compare spec for spec. This isn't 2003 anymore. Different architectures have totally different setups. You can't compare clocks anymore, as ATI still goes off of core clock while NVIDIA has a lower core clock with way higher shader processor clocks. It's comparing apples to...

Actually, SLI and Crossfire are not inconsistent.. developers are inconsistent in how well they design their games to take advantage of more than 1 gpu. So it really comes down to them, as NVIDIA and ATI cannot recode and run their game on the fly for them :)

For all the insulting you're doing you seem to be pretty clueless yourself. The point of physics technologies is not to improve framerates... it's not a faster CPU or GPU. The point is to add to the IMMERSION/experience of the game, by adding an element that hasn't really been there up until...

A GTX handles the situation like yours much better than a 256bit chip with less memory (512MB) like the G92 GTS. At those settings GTX/Ultra excel.

If it's even legit, it's way overpriced for the performance. Pay $10 more than that and you can have an 8800GT.
