Podivej se spis na Hexus, tam pouzivaji 16x12 4xAA, 8xAF a pri SLI je vykon dvojnasobny.
Hmm mal si pravdu, v 16x12 AA,AF to uz vyzera inac ;D Fine... mozno s tohofakt daco bude. Inac zaujima ma jeden fakt ? Viem ze GF6800U v Sli drzi neoficialny rekord v 3Dmarku05 ...preco je neoficialny ??? V Orbe je najvysie X800ka ... WTF ???
Mozna proto, ze ty ovladace na kterych ten rekord padl nejsou FM aproved?Citace:

cetli jste uz nekdo toto: SLI can work with more than two cards
Written by Mavke
Tuesday, 29 March 2005
NVIDIA still has the lead on the SLI front despite ATI galloping up in the graphics version of the Desperation Derby, but the graphics jockeys have more tricks up their sleeves. It seems that NVIDIA SLI can work with more than just two cards. It's possible to make four cards work together.

V poslední době se mi zdá že ted nvidia nabízí lepší produkty než ati (low end -) 6200, main stream -) 6600, high end -) 6800) a to v ceně a taky "někdy ve výkonu(6600, 6200)"a i ve funkcích sm 3, sli za cenově levnější a dostupnější řešení sli (2. 6600) a možnost lepšího oc hlavně ty pipky.Citace:

Nejprve si musíš uvědomit, že 6200 si jako PEG kartu kupuje málokdo a AGP verze jsu zpravidla 64bitový (mizerný poměr cena/výkon) a 128bit jsou zas nechutně drahý. Pokud jde o PEG, tak má X700 nesrovnatelně lepší poměr cena/výkon, než 6600. nVidia vede s 6600GT, na kterou ATi přímou odpověď nemá. Buď X700PRO, která má o něco nižší výkon, ale už je taky o dost levnější, nebo naopak dražší X800 pure (třeba 128MB), která je zas rychlejší. S X800XL je na tom zase líp ATi a s X850XT-PE taky.
Aby to nebylo úplný OT - jsem zvědavej, jak chtějí vyřešit "independent oc". V AFR, který se nVidia snaží procpat do většiny aplikací, to nebude mít vliv a aby kvůli pár procent MHz někdo přepínal do SFR, který má nižší efektivitu, se taky nevyplatí.

X700 nemá nesrovnatelně lepší poměr cena/výkon než 6600
X700PRO je celkem o hodně slabší než 6600gt
Omlouvám se adminům, nacpu to do jednoho postu a dál se k tomu v tomhle threadu nebudu vyjadřovat:
A to je TEN velkej omyl. 6600 je silně podtaktovaná 6600GT. Jádro běží na frekvenci o 200MHz nižších, paměti skoro o 250-300/(500-600DDR)MHz (podle modelu). U X700 je oproti X700PRO jádro podtaktovaný o 20MHz a paměti podle modelu, obvykle o 80-150/(160-300DDR) MHz (podle modelu).Citace:
Původně odeslal Peter5110
Krom toho, že ve všech hrách krom D3 a Riddicku je i podtaktovaná verze X700 rychlejší, než standardní 6600, má prakticky ve všech hrách mnohem vyšší min. framerate - doporučuju najít LIBOVOLNOU rezenzi, kde jsou grafy průběhu. X700 bude mít prům. framerate třeba o 15-20% vyšší, ale min, FPS bude vyšší třeba i dvojnásobně. Je sice pěkný, že při pohledu do zdi dává 6600 stovky FPS, ale při náročných scénách je v koncích (nemá dostatečný bandwidth ani fillrate) a to je situace, kde dojde na lámání chleba. Lidi argumentujou, že 6600 maj OC potenciál na jádře, ale ten min. FPS nijak moc nepomůže - je to z části věc architektury (VS) a z části věc pomalých pamětí (550MHz na 6600 proti 700MHz na X700).
A co se X700PRO vs. 6600GT týká... sice se mi nepodařilo najít testy s grafama průběhu, ale:
1) na czc je plnohodnotná 6600GT od 5200Kč a plnohodnotná X700PRO od 4000Kč
2) dokud nebude mít 6600GT o 1/3 vyšší výkon než X700PRO, nemá lepší poměr cena/výkon. Ještě jsem nenarazil na recenzi, kde by 6600GT byla v průměru o 1/3 lepší :?
3) tohle nemůžu podložit grafama, ale znám člověka, který si chtěl koupit 6600GT. Měl možnost si X700PRO i 6600GT nejdřív půjčit. Tvrdil, že nemá zapotřebí si kupovat grafickou kartu, která v Painkilleru nebo HL2 bude mít min. framerate nižší, než jeho stará 9600PRO a se slovy, že 6600GT má sice prům. framerate lepší, si koupil X700PRO, která má naopak lepší min. framerate.

SLI showing its flex, finally
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24044
Citace:
What Rel80 brings to the table should satisfy even the hardest SLI critics, such as yours truly - dual core CPU support ("optimisations", that is) and improved performance are just one of the features. "Seamless SLI switching" sounds even more promising, and independent overclocking support and SLI working even when combining boards from different vendors. It will be interesting to see the boards clocked to their maximum, and that maximum not being the same clock on both boards...
SLI also available on GeForce 6600 (non-GT)
http://www.hexus.net/Citace:
NVIDIA have just announced SLI support for the entire 6600 range of PCI Express GeForces. The boards don't have the SLI connector on the top edge of the board so the boards get SLI support by passing the SLI data over the PCI Express bus via the root port instead.
The cost of a basic 6600 PCI Express board in the U.K. is around £80. Paired with that is an announcement that nForce4 SLI mainboards will be available for under 100 Euros (~£70) very soon, bringing the entire cost for mainboard and a pair of graphics boards to under £250 for the first time.
NVIDIA Forceware 77.72 - SLI without bridge
Citace:
OCW is reporting that the latest Forceware 77.72 drivers allow you to join two 6xxx series graphics cards together in SLI mode without the bridge connector:
We went ahead and tested our 6600GT with and without bridge on a NF4 SLI mainboard. Previously my system was running 71.89. I removed the bridge and 71.89 was able to allow SLI without bridge to work (preliminary)? Anyway, I installed the 77.72 and rebooted.
On startup, it detected an SLI capable system and asked if I want to enable SLI. Yes of course. A pop up window says that Performance will be better if a bridge is installed. Another reboot confirms SLI is setup and I am back to WinXP, ready to run some benchmarks to test the performances of SLI capable 6600GT with and without bridge connected.
NVIDIA to launch 'open driver'
http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews...lld19JRD0xMzE0Citace:
With the launch of NVIDIAs 2nd family based solution which supports SLi it is not much of a suprise that the peformance and use of this under SLI was very impressive. Infact this was very easy to install, setup and get working.
ATI's own Dave Orten stated that the NVIDIA solution was very compelling and it sounded more than clear that he wanted a slice of the action. We will see this with ATi's release of Crossfire.
ATi have stated that their solution will support different cards, which delivers an upgrade solution to current ATi card users.
We find it very likely that NVIDIA will release a new driver soon which will allow the support of 'un-matched' cards, and if what has been whispered to us turns out to be true SLi will deliver an impressive upgrade path.
We believe this NVIDIA driver will mean the use of 7 and 6 series cards in the same configuration.
Of course we should not forget that the release of the NVIDIA 6600 SLi for the mainstream market finally delivers lower price point for people to adopt SLi as a solution.
NVIDIA officals declined to comment at time of going to press.

We can clearly say that all users of MSI K8N SLI board won’t be able to fit G70, G70, Geforce 7800 GTX card in this board.
One of the capacitors is simply on the way. If you break the capacitor you will break the board as it simply won’t run without that small but crucial part. You simply cannot take the capacitor off as the board won't work without it.

Teď je ještě otázka, jakej to bude mít dopad na výkon. Vzhkedem k tomu, že SLI přes PEG je cca 2x pomalejší, než SLI přes propojku, by se moho stát, že výsledný skóre 4 karet přes PEG bude prakticky stejný jako skóre dvou karet přes propojku. No, už se těším na první testy :drool:
No tohle je jedna moznost jak to bude v budoucnu vypadat. Druha moznost je dve dual karty ;)
To je fakt, tam by mohl být nárůst vyšší.
..uz sa tesim na externi propojku ktora umozni dat do SLI dva kompy ktore maju kazdy v sebe 4x geforce7800.potom sa k tomu pripoji dalsi komp ktory to cele bude synchronizovat,a to bude panecku vykon http://www.pretaktovanie.sk/modules/...miles/rlol.gif

Showcased in Michael Dell's keynote speech today is a Dell XPS 600 Renegade system, under the hood of which roars a pair of dual GPU GeForce 7800 GTX cards - yup, two cards, each with two G70GTX cores. Sat on a motherboard built around the nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset, this is the first ever system to support SLI utilising not two, but four GeForce GPUs.
Combining the system and its hilarious amounts of graphics power with Dell's 30 inch 3007WFP TFT monitor gives the possibility for gaming at 2560x1600, with framerates nothing else will be able to touch (right now, anyway.) A whopping 32x antialiasing is supported, along with 16x anisotropic filtering for an injection of image quality. Of course, it'd be wrong not to run these cards without all settings set to max wouldn't it?

Dell and some of the larger enthusiast-orientated system builders will announce that they're shipping Quad-SLI systems - available in limited quantities - on the 22nd. Along with the OEM strategy, NVIDIA plans to make the platform available to enthusiasts too.
Our own sources indicated that the dual GPU cards will be have an SRP somewhere close to the $799 mark, meaning that you'll need to spend $1600 to get the fastest graphics platform on the planet. We expect single GPU GeForce 7900 GTXs to cost around $499 on launch, providing that availability of the new products is healthy.

WE learned that Nvidia plans to ship its shorter versions of the Quad SLI capable cards for retail. It will brand those cards as Geforce 7950 GTX 2 and the cards should be available by the end of the month.
There is obviously demand for these cards and as we mentioned before Nvidia already sold a small quantity of a longer PCB version of the Quad SLI cards but didn't brand those. Those cards were for OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and system integrators only.

NVIDIA SLI 2.0 Technology In March?
http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4539Citace:
We heard faintly about NVIDIA SLI 2.0 technology and it is going to launch during CeBIT in March. Little information is available at this moment but we heard that it will be able to support mixed cards. We are unclear if it is across different series or different models of the same series.. Also there are some rumors out now that GeForce 8x00 series will be able to support multi-GPUs SLI by linking up 4, 6 to 8 cards or more. This multi-GPUs SLI capability could form part of the SLI 2.0 technology we are hearing.
Nvidia Readies Hybrid SLI Technology
http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/d...625083756.htmlCitace:
Nvidia’s new Hybrid SLI technology will have two modes and that will target different applications: the Power Saving Mode, which will switch off discrete graphics core and use only integrated graphics engine when high performance is not needed, whereas Max Performance Mode will make integrated graphics processor (IGP) to assist discrete graphics processing unit (GPU) and boost performance when it is required.
The max performance mode of hybrid SLI will allow systems featuring entry-level or mainstream GPUs from Nvidia to process graphics faster, as IGP will be able to help discrete graphics chip to render complex graphics, according to the company.

Hybrid SLI will bring multi display to SLI
FudzillaCitace:
After years of trying, Nvidia will finally bring dual display support that will work with SLI enabled. Unfortunately, it looks that it will work with Chipset + graphics, which is not what people with two 8800 Ultra cards had hoped for, but at least it’s progress.
Nvidia’s Hybrid SLI performance mode will mean that your chipset gets boosted by an external GPU in performance and that it probably shows another name in the driver so your PC will tell you have better graphics than you had before.
Hybrid SLI driver comes in late January
FudzillaCitace:
According to the current schedule, the Hybrid SLI driver for MPC78 chipset has entered the RC1 A01 beta stage. It all went well and this happened a few days ago.
The next step is the WHQL candidate that is expected just after CES or around January 10th, while the production driver is expected around the 20th, or some 10 days later.
Nvidia will be ready with the final driver, the one that will have support for both HD DVD and Blu-Ray in the last days of January.

With the background being assured by the whole of CES 2008 Nvidia has unveiled the latest technology to bear the SLI name first brought to anyones attention by 3Dfx. Hybrid SLI is the name and gaming and power consumption is its game as this technology is set to address both issues through a combination of chipsets, and graphics cards.
"We believe Hybrid SLI technology is one of the most important innovations we’ve come up with to date,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, CEO of NVIDIA. “Hybrid SLI delivers new multi-GPU technology to a large segment of the PC market, delivering consumers a level of PC graphics performance and power efficiency never before seen.”
Going back to reality Hybrid SLI is the newest invention around and it is focused on combining a motherboard with integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card in order to provide both performance and low power requirements, each one only when needed. The two situations are handled by separate technologies and these are GeForce Boost and HybridPower.
HybridPower is all about consuming as little power as possible and this will be done by switching processing from a single GPU or multiple GPUs in SLI configuration to the onboard motherboard GPU. This state allows the system to run cooler and consume less thus boasting, in a mobile environment battery life.
When gaming is needed GeForce Boost will enter the stage and will the processing power of the GeForce-based graphics card with that of the second GPU integrated into the motherboard core logic. This will see the two GPUs working in tandem to offer higher performance in more graphic-intensive tasks.

Nvidia to enable native SLI on certified X58 motherboards
TechReportCitace:
Motherboard makers who wish to have their X58 boards certified for SLI will have to submit their products for testing in Nvidia's Santa Clara certification lab, and those boards must pass basic testing for functionality, slot placement, and the like. Certification will not be free, either. Board makers will have to select from a menu of licensing options available to them. Certified boards will also be required to display an "SLI Certified" logo on their boxes and other marketing materials.
Once a board is certified, Nvidia will provide the board maker with an approval key (called a "cookie") that it must embed in the system BIOS. The combination of this approval key and an X58 chipset will then unlock SLI support in Nvidia's ForceWare driver software. Nvidia acknowledged to us up front that users would more than likely hack the BIOSes of non-certified X58 boards and add "cookies" to them, but said it won't get in the way of such things. The certification program is intended for motherboard and PC makers, and end-users' actions don't appear to be a big source of concern.
Intel might license software SLI
FudzillaCitace:
We've learned that there are big chances that Intel will license SLI from Nvidia. Software SLI support is what Intel wanted in the first place and now they have a chance.
This decision hasn't been made and Nvidia did catch Intel by surprise, but our sources believe that this might make perfect sense. Nvidia will make a few bucks on the licensing deal, which the green company wanted to do in the first place, and the blue sky Intel will get its SLI in software.
This decision will mainly depend on how Nvidia does with its high-end in the future. The SLI chipset from Nvidia is more than 15 percent of Intel’s market, so it makes sense for Intel.
Nvidia holds more than 60 percent AMD chipsets
FudzillaCitace:
According to Mercury research, Nvidia holds 60 percent of AMD's chipset market. Nvidia has held this number since Q3 2006, and in the last eight quarters Nvidia was stable between 60 and 63 percent of the total market. This is an impressive achievement.
Z toho duvodu se prave neuvazuje o tom, ze by mohlo prijit software reseni SLI jako v pripade chipsetu pro Intel.
Nvidia to enable quad-SLI
FudzillaCitace:
In addition to its software licensed SLI support, Nvidia will also enable quad-SLI with up to four cards on its newly announced SLI license design boards. This is something that we haven’t seen before.
There will be four options. The basic one is a two times 16X PCIe design with two PCIe slots, then three-slot with one PCIe 16X and two PCIe 8X slots, three-slot with signal mix with one 16X PCIe and another 16X when two cards are plugged in, or two times 8X when three cards are plugged in.
The last and the most interesting one is a four-slot option with four times PCIe 8X. The boards with Nforce 200 are capable of supporting 3-way SLI with each slot supporting PCIe 16X or with two Nforce 200 chips you will be able to get the whole four PCIe slots at full speed of 16X.
SLI na Intel P45 chipsetu
Tak konecne se nekomu podarilo zprovoznit SLI i na non-nvidia chipsetech pro LGA775. Skoda, ze tak pozde - s nastupem P55 toto asi nebude nejak moc zajimave (minimalne, dokud to nvidia opet nejak nezablokuje)

We utilize 3DMark Vantage software to check out the performance, and it shows as P20483, which is very close to the SLI performance of dual GTX260.
Firewings [CCG] says the cracking itself is not difficult at all, but he needs to test this on different motherboards before taking this to universal use.
Moc zajímavé:eek:akorát já mluvim pouze česky a to ještě špatně takže z toho moc nemám,co jsem pochopil,tak první test proběhl s 8600GT X GTX260,pokud to nepletu,to mě celkem zajímá,to jako 8600GT počíta fyziku a GTX260 zbytek?každopádně ty 2x260GTX..to už je něco,otázkou jsou nadcházející DX11 a smysluplnost koupě druhé GTX260 v dnešní době.
Nikoli, to co popisuješ, tzn. jedna dedikovaná grafika na fyziku a druhá pro 3D, funguje bez SLI... prakticky na všem se dvěma PCI-E pro grafiky. SLI jako takové je s stejně spíš pro nadšence a "honimíry" 3D marků, jinak je s tím víc problémů jak užitku a využitelnsot více méně jen v nových titulech a navíc často omezeně, než odladí drivery. :wink:Citace:

Múžeš to prosím blíž popsat,mám na mysli tu dedikovanou GK pro fyziku,co je k tomu potřeba a jakej je zisk?
To záleží na hře, jak moc to umí využít...ale jako druhou grafiku na fyziku je třeba aspon 8800GT+ aby to mělo efekt, některé připravované hry dokonce využijí i silnější. Testy Physx s dedikovanou grafikou lze najít na netu. Na druhou stranu, neni zas tolik her co by za to stálo...pořizovat kvůli tomu druhou grafiku na fyziku.Citace:
