But then what would the rest of us do without you?

lol. Sorry, I just had to. You kinda set yourself up for that one.

Nice review Wizz. However, you guys need to start including Bad Company 2 (Dx10 and Dx11) in your benchmarks considering it is currently one of the most popular games out right now. I would like to see those numbers.

+1/2nded/agreed

I would go as far to say that it's equally (depending on what scenes) as graphic intensive as Crysis. Maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: Don't hate if I'm wrong.

Any F@H results with just 1 card? I've read that one guy folded all night and temps were clock to 90C.

erocker · Apr 16, 2010

It needs a new client, there's already news about it at F@H. So does ATi, but I honestly doubt that will ever happen. Looks like I'm still not folding. :ohwell:

When will we get GPU virtualisation? Then you would be able to run 2-3 unoptimized clients on a more powerful GPU...

Finally a valid GTX 480 review in SLI. Now i can say that you rightfully call yourselves "The latest in hardware & gaming" as you imply to yourselves. The only downside to the review i see is that you didn't included AvP3 & Call of Pripyat as another DX11 benchmarks, but that's just me.

Great job, nevertheless. Keep it up.

P.S. +53% & +69% SLI scaling in 1920x1200 & 2560x1600 correspondingly : ZOMGWTFBBQ !!!!!! That's exactly how i wanted to see SLI scale for real. As for temps - i wonder how the 2 will be cooled down when placed in something like HAF932.

Must be some high quality PCB/silica if Nvidia thinks long term 90C+ temps are tolerable and normal.
