I'd go on a rampage if that happened to me.

Feron: Did I say Quad SLI? I meant 4 cards in Dual SLI mode. Maybe the whole graphic setup to run Crysis at Very High was $800 dollars. I'll do some more extensive research when I get the time to correct facts.

4 cards in dual SLI mode? never heard of that before.

I know that 3 is poss. No idea about 4

WTH, I don't get this? Don't you have a waranty or something on those cards?

I think warrentys only cover problems that occur with the cards running at factory-shipped settings. I dunno if he O/C'ed the cards which would void the warrenty, or whether the cards never even had warrentys.

That's weird, my overclocked 8800GTS 320MB runs Crysis just fine on very high settings. No problems except for some occasional slowdowns in more demanding areas. Of course SLI setups run much hotter than single card, so it's really important to have good airflow in the case.

You're 8800GTS runs it fine? Then how come my two GTX's together can't wipe it. Mine aren't even the superclocked ones. They are the lowest priced ones, but they can be overclocked though, hence why I didn't buy the more expensive superclocked GTXs. Should I probably overclock them then? The air around the cards never goes above 53 C, so temp issues aren't really issues.

Or would it be settings in my NVidia Control Panel? I have those set to pretty high, with the cards rendering alternating frames. So each card gets one frame, which should make it much faster. Splitting the frames between each card causes pixel shifting if either card mistimes just a hair.

But your running a GTS which is only a model down from mine and yet you play Crysis just fine. What's up with my setup then?

I've been staying away from overclocking, but even so shouldn't I be able to run Crysis?

This is annoying. I have the equipment, but again it isn't working as well as it should.

Let me get a good understandable list of my Rig together and we'll see what this thing really should be doing.

different settings, different performance

You should run Crysis pretty well without overclocking, depends a bit on your resolution. I'm not sure what the problem is, the cards shouldn't just die like that. I also doubt it was heat because the G80 core can handle more than 100C without failure.

I use 1280x1024, no AA.

I'm playing Crysis on low-mid with my 8800GTS Whatever , 8800Ultra is gonna come in a few days/weeks
