Well, I did recieve some personal PM of lying to people about the office RIG. They claim, I dont have Quad SLI setup nor a AMD 5000+. Well, for those who did’nt belive and for those appreciate awesome rigs.
Preview Scores
Doom 3 - 1280 x 1024 (16x FSAA) - 120 FPS
FEAR - 1280 x 960 (8xFSAA) - 120 FPS
This was done on a sh~t monitor. Wait till next week.
Well, can’t reveal about info on how TT was able to get hands on it (Rules and Regulations). The beta drivers run the quad sli mode only in few games. 3D Mark scores show no improvement. So, maybe we will be doing just a technological preview on it by next week. Once the final drivers comes out, we will be doing a full fledged review. Another thing in pipeline are 7600GT and7950 GX2 round up within two weeks time.
P.S. The whole rig is running on just 460W SMPS by Vantec. That bloody thing is able to do 30A on 12v line.
^^Dude you need a new PSU!! Why risk frying like almost 1 lakh worth of hardware on it. But otherwise, awesome rig Damn i wish i had a job like yours. What display are you getting for it?
Well, we are always on the look out for potential people. Anyways, I belive you reside in banglore, and PC World Head office is in Banglore. If you wish, I can give ur reference over there. The head of the Test Labs in PC world is an old friend of mine. Then you will have a similar job to mine.
PSU is running perfectly fine. I was suprised myself when a 460W SMPS was able to power everything perfectly. I had a regular check on the rail line voltage on regular basis and they are well below the danager levels.
Well, I will be running it on three displays. 1st is the Viewsonice VX924, I simply love the quality. But however it lacks high resolution such as 1600 * 1200 and 1920 * 1440. Hence, we are using a 19" Philiphs CRT moniter which supports those res, but suks in quality, only for evaluation. Third is a 42" LCD TV by Philips
Yea, same for me, but Quad SLI drivers were released just few days ago, which means all this time, his rig was eating dust.
Even now, Quad SLI is not enabled in every game (e.g. 3D Mark). Only few selected games such Doom 3, FEAR, Half Life 2, etc. However, a final version to enable Quad SLI will be soon on its way.
I havent even finished college yet, actually havent even started yet But if you could get me some kinda job there that would be awesome
Well its surprising its working fine, but its risky nonetheless. Running a dual core and 4 gpu’s on one rail is kinda overboard if you ask me. Even though the ratings may be fine, though even that surprises me that the voltages arent dropping much. If i were in charge of that rig, i wouldnt trust the 460W PSU, especially in the long run.
Haha, even that resolution is too low to stress the setup. Any plans of getting a 30" Dell/Apple?
quad SLIs r insane…i mean thats not the way to go…
too much power cons…strictly for the retarded perverted gamers who hv nothing else to do…well gamers who make a living out of playing I can undst gng for this..not otherwise
Age is never a bar for such jobs. I myself starting working at Techtree at the age of 19. I am currently doing my Engg Degree (AMIE). Anyways, you can always drop in a PM.
Well, I have tried to explain, why Gigabyte released the 3D1 card. Anyways, it was an evolution concept (marketting publicity) rather than being targetted to masses.
I would have love to compare scores to other high end cards, but due to some problems, we were unable to. Test Labs are very difficult and expensive to run atleast in India. Hope, we are able to solve the problem real soon.
I guess so…but then I dont think it is right for you to make a statement like an SLI 6600GT setup beats a 6800 GT … And the fact remains that a lot of people visit TT…
TT has a responsibility to give these people correct info.
