My GTX 285 SLi results...

Well, finally got my system stable though the 285s are both running at refrence clocks not OC2 settings. Check out a few of my synth becnhmark results at www.tgupdate.com If any of ya'll have a clue how to get BFGs OC2 cards to actually run at OC2 speeds.....holla at me! (I've RMAd 3 times so far lol)

What kind of motherboard do you have? EDIT: Nevermind. The bottleneck is your motherboard. The 7 series nForce chipsets have major problems running good components correctly, especially video cards... Latency in the NB is greatly increased when you're using good video cards... This is why you can't run your GPU's at the OC speeds. The artificial latency code in the bios isn't slowing the NB down quite enough, so it's overheating...-GeordiLaForge-

Itd be SWEET if that was it. But its not mate. NB stays nice and cool. And the GPUS have been tried, individually, in more than 5 PCs of different configs.

Well something is bottlenecking you. Here's my single BFG GTX285 3DMark06 result which I am not happy with, it's 4K points lower than my old 8800GT SLI setup. Link

My BFG 285 OC's run in SLI at their overclocked speed with no issues...

Actually, it's true. Believe it or not. Your low scores are because of your motherboard, and the latency created by the bios. The temp shown for the NB is about 32C I'm guessing? Either way, the nVidia boards do indeed have serious problems when running decent video cards. Why do you think they included the code in the bios to artificially increase latency? Stick those cards in a motherboard with an X58 chipset and see what they can do... -GeordiLaForge-

You wanna send me a new CPU so I can try? :):):)......................Just think of it as my emotion chip.......Geordi would never deny someone that!!

You need to overclock your CPU, not sure why you cant run the gpus at their factory clocks though.

use the teleporter and beam it down, make it so.

Hi Geordi put the ship in slingshot effect. Go back in time. Give KyleGates

the i7 processor before he knows he has it.
