NVIDIA GTX 280 tri SLI Benches-Maxed Crysis @ 60FPS
Whoo! Got Crysis benchmark tool working. We only ran a few loops but it's pretty easy to see that our test system is no match for these three cards.
Pictures Below.
Test platform:
Intel Core 2 Extreme Qx9770 @ 4.4Ghz
iBuyPower IBP-Z001 Liquid Cooler
EVGA 790i Ultra Motherboard
Mushkin XP3-144000 1760Mhz 7-6-5-15
Lots of fans
-Edit- pushed the GTX 280s a tiny bit further, reposted score
EVGA GTX 280 Triple SLI @ 684/1525/1289mhz Core/Shader/Memory
3dMark Vantage: 22782
3dMark06 -Vista-: 19529
EVGA GTX 280 Triple SLI-Stock Timings
3dMark Vantage: 21273
EVGA 9800GX2 SSC Quad SLI @ 725/1114mhz Core/Memory
3dMark Vantage: 18113
3dMark06 -Vista-: 19870
Ok, we weren't nearly as thorough on day 2 of testing. We had to return the 9800GX2 SSCs before we could test them at stock speeds. But, as you can see, GTX 280 triple SLI at stock speeds destroys even an overclocked 9800GX2 Quad SLI setup.
We clocked the CPU to 4.0Ghz (to save it from an early death, lol) and ran World in Conflict in benchmark mode at four resolutions: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, and 1200x1600 with 16xAF and 16xCSAA but... well... we'll let you interpret the results:
World in Conflict
Average FPS in 'Very High' settings and 16xAF and 16xCSAA
63 FPS @ 800x600
64 FPS @ 1024x768
63 FPS @ 1280x1024
63 FPS @ 1600x1200
Crysis
60.4 FPS @ 1280x1024 no AA
60.7 FPS @ 1600x1200 no AA
58.4 @ 1280x1024 16xQ AA
59.0 @ 1600x1200 16xQ AA
We need a bigger monitor

Tell me what you guys think/want to see us do with these setups
