4Way SLI with Asus X79 Rampage IV Extreme and 1650 core 3D11 single card !

[nickshih]

Lots poeple expect X79 SB-E will replace SB and Gulftown on each benchmark.

After few months , I am dispointted about the margin of SB-E.

Average cpu clock is around 5.2xG ~ 5.4xG Mhz.

Memory controller has lots difference under air cooling.

If u want to do Extreme benching under Ln2 , also have to check the ability of memory controller under cold.

Chip will have CB and CBB issue with higher memory clock or timing . Some chips dont boot under cold even it can do 2500 memory on air cooing.

The chips binning of SB-E becomes a combination game.

With limited cpu speed , 3D11 and vantage are the only benchmark to do . PT and combine score are so high .

Let's see what it can do.




CPU : 3960X
MB : ASUS X79 Rampage IV Extreme
PSU : ANTEC HCP 1200 watts
VGA : MSI GTX580 Lightning & ASUS GTX580 Matrix
HDD : Kingston HyperX 240GB & Adata S599 128GB
RAM : GEIL Corsa 2400 CL9 2GBx4
POT : Kingpin F1 CPU + FAT Gpu pot










Single card result with MSI GTX580 Lightning .

This is good card , but has performance bug low issue. But it can clock high .




3Dmark11 , 1650core and 2650memory . over 13k finally... P13144





Vantage , 1595core and 2600 memory . P48002

5.52g CPU test score is same as 6.4g gulftown . So the performance on X79 is so good . Also easy to bench.











Now , 4way is really tough benching . Need lots benching process .

And the humidity is so high in Taiwan . The mist and fog is everywhere .

I do 4-way benching with Shamino and Andre Yang. We really have "good time" there

Especially one time we had big score . When we want to save it , then whole system reboot.

We tried our best to do already . Hopes we can find other good cards to bench.














3Dmark11 P27928






3Dmark11 E32331






3Dmark11 X12264









It is just beginning of X79 , let's push the score now !!

Benching season again in the next few months .

Cheers !

Have you tried 4-way with Vantage?

[dejan_bin_laden]

Congratz NickyBoy , awsome results that push Team PURE back to # 1 Spot in hwbot . Keep benching bro , and with your 2 LN2 pouring helpers what more can we ask for , great going.

100 CPU
Many people can not can try 2 CPU
you are lucky man
This information very very disappointed

Very nice, and am I right, that you used just 2x HCP1200 for that? =)
If benching with Andre Yang, didnt he repeat "Need more PSU"

100 cpu's, pff, if I will return to Taipei in near future, I will deff have to see your crazy lab, 100 CPU's, 100 VGA's, it is hardware heaven!

Hope Gautam wont notice my post and claim that I offended half of the forum, and it was reported 13 or 37 times
