SLI board

287 Views 3 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Pao
Guys,
I'm thinking about taking a turn to NVidia (never thought I would, have never used them so far in the past 10 years) just for folding reasons. I know I don't NEED an SLI board to use them on for folding, but if I had the cards in I might as well have the ability to sli for gaming reasons as well.

That stated, any recommendations for a great PhII sli board? Possibly something I might have a chance of not losing any money over as well with the trade/sale of my current board? Much appreciated for any quality input.

Not to drag offtopic but the latest catalyst states improvements to [email protected] among the changes. Have you tried to see if the new driver improves your folding?
780a will be the best bet. Just go to newegg.com and search 780a for a list of mobo.

Select the one based on the best features for the price, or whatever you are looking at having).

Yes, it's all small though. Graphically, one of my cards solo can compete head on with a 9800gtx, folding wise an 8800gt can get well more then what my cards can do. My cards avg. about 2500ppd. I guess nothing is set in stone, and with the hassle it'd be to try and trade/sell my board and my cards this could all just be a futile attempt.

Edit: Not to mention the stupid amounts of cpu usage involved with folding on ati cards. With it set to minimum, if I recall correctly, one card will still offload something like 30% usage to the cpu per client.
