Noice! :thumbsup:

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

Thanks ;)

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

pretty poor scaling from most of those tests you ran imo...

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

I'm satisfied. Do u have numbers with your Tri CF? Believe scaling is terrible... :thumbdwn:

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

Very nice battery of tests. I wish they scaled better than they do in games. The only 2 items that the scaling was close to 100% were synthetic benchmarks (3DMark11 and Heaven)

It sort of shows me how pointless it is to get 2 high-end cards right now. I mean you did a very good set of tests, but it appears multi-card is not the way to go at the moment.

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

No offense, but <70% is what you showed in most of the games. The only tests that scaled good were synthetic tests which don't mean crap.

Also, yes I do have numbers of crossfire scaling. About ~90% with 3 cards, and ~100% with 2 cards.

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

I'm ok! :)

100% on games? I would like to see that... sadly ATI drivers for Crossfire are really screwed, that's the reason i sold my 5970.

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

You asked. Not 100%, but I did happen to get 100% in some of my own tests.

Oh, here is one of my 100% scaling...

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

Not bad at all... :thumbsup:

I have to install more games to add to topic.

Wondering how these guys test BC2...

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

That you do. I'd like to see more games. :)

Re: NVidia GTX 570 SLI Scaling
 

Just noticed scaling is much better at 2560x1600... sadly my TV cant get that resolution.
