Today I finally bought another 7600GT and they are running in SLI mode.

2x7600GT in SLi - everything running on hi with full AA and no chop - this is heaven

BF2 is VERY pretty @ the mo

as ati fanboy ill say this: why not ati in crossfire *cry*.

how much performance increase do you have?

Your setup is the only setup i know that has a 7600s in SLI.  Pics? Reso?

No pics at the mo. will try and post some later on 2day.
As for performance increase - quite a lot improvement (with just 1 card I could only run terrain and effects on hi with no AA @ 1024x768).

With the 2 cards on SLi i have everything on Hi with 4xAA res @ 1280x1024 - the increase in res is due to my LCD flat panel screen

I can play high with AA x4 with my graphics card. ATI 1600x pro 512mb, how much did you pay

That what his setup equals to except you got one card.

I paid AUD$300 per card. So no they arnt the most expensive card, but they do the job VERY well and at the end of the day that is all that counts

7900 video cards are about $100-$200 more expensive (and at the mo I am low on cash)

ummm dude, did i just not say that i am currently low and cash AND CANT AFFORD A 7800GTX


7800GTX = AUD$700+

And by the time that Vista arrives (and I can be bothered enuff to use it), i'll prolly have better cards anyway.
I dont just go out and buy the latest version of Windows as soon as it arrives (I didnt start using XP till 03/04).

Oh and performance issues - I played BF2 on a full 64plr server and had an average of 60FPS

I was looking thru my video card box 2day (cos I just reinstalled XP), and noticed that my 7600GT IS designed for XP so Engineer Fox

No pics @ the mo - not real sure how to do it (Chuy said use something like Image shack but I dont know how to )

Try getting it to do 16x Trilinear Anisotropic Filtering and then it'll be complete.

I don't think there is any such thing as Trilinear AF. You have Bilinear, Trilinear and Anisotropic Filtering. They don't get mixed together as far as I know.

7800GTX arent produced anymore. 7900gt are better

Exactly. 7800s use a larger fabrication process so can't be clocked so high and they run hotter. That's the only difference I think.

Lo All

I'm running a very similar system:-

3800 Dual core AMD 64
Sli twin 7600GT 256MB
A8N32-SLI Deluxe MoBo
2 by 1024MB Corsair 400MHz DDR Ram

However when I try and run any game including BF2 above 800x600 I get a green flicker in with the graphics.

The game still runs fine and you can see that the resolution is better but this green flicker just ruins it.

I'm running the latest drivers (91.47) (old ones removed and cleaned using driver cleaner).

The whole point of this system is to run my games at max resolution and this is now really doing my head in.

Can anyone help.

I don't understand why so many people buy the A8N32-SLI Deluxe. It is no better than the A8N-SLI Premium board and costs more money. Unless you are running a quad SLI setup you will not use the additional PCI-e bandwidth it offers. Total waste of money.

Green flicker? Is it in little spots? How hot are your cards running do you have adequate cooling for them? Have you got them overclocked?

The green flicker could be to do with your memory overheating on your graphics cards. This is more likely to happen on SLI setups because you have 2 very hot GPUs next to each other. It only happening at resolutions over 800x600 would seem to support this, since that uses more power, producing more heat. I'm not sure though because I haven't seen it. If it is being caused by overheating, the flicker is really quite damaging for your video memory.
