Presler, Kentsfield ?

Kanyamagufa said:My only question is how many of the performance issues are driver related? Some of the benches from xbit show incredible potential. But then in some the quad setup would lose to the dual...is it reasonable to believe that the reason these new rigs aren't dominating every benchmark is because of premature drivers, or are there other factors beside software holding them back as well?

bigz said:I'm very surprised that Xbit couldn't get Quad SLI working in BF2, because it worked just fine for us. The resolution changing issue in Call of Duty 2 is also an interesting one - we didn't see that either. I'm thinking that those two could be patch related, because (as far as I can see) they haven't listed the patches used.
Benchmarking Oblivion on this hardware was - without doubts - one of the most painful and frustrating benchmarking experiences I've ever had. :|
It's plausible, I guess - that's one of the first things I disable in the BIOS as, AFAIK, it overclocks some part of the architecture. I've known consumers have problems getting 7900 GTX's working with PEG Link mode enabled too, so it's not something that I've not seen before. IMHO, PEG Link mode is one of those settings designed to help the board score better in reviews, but it doesn't help with system stability.dizietsma said:There was some indication from the TechPowerUp article that they got better stability with the Asus BIOS PEG Link set to normal/disabled rather than Auto so maybe Xbit did not have this setup the same way as they or you did ?
