Test Suggestions

I'll post anyway: Overclocking tests!

More along the lines of "you won't see any performance increase unless its in our list of precoded app detections, and if it is we won't give you any control over the rendering mode it uses".

Eeew, I'd be pissed if I paid top dollar for a rig and it turned out to be like that! :?

But, but, but, they've been working on it for over three years now...

Ahhh, thats better, I've managed to get other apps to work, perhaps we can do some real testing!

phew, better be able to work in most apps! if they cant get it to then I be PISSED! I mean, really, if the Voodoo1, Voodoo2, Voodoo5, and even Rage Fury MAXX can kinda do it... WHY NOT THESE THINGS!?

I'd be interested in how it scales with something like Halo, which (IIRC) Bungie complained was hit with an inordinate amount of D3D overhead.

I'd also be interested in its increase in vertex shader power, if any (it's supposed to be doubled, right?).

And, uh, check to see what renaming 3DM05.exe to 3DMoat.exe or something does. Wink wink, nudge nudge.

Cough.

Maybe see if 20x15 8xS is feasible? Heck, what isn't CPU limited with dual 6800Us?

If you got 6600GTs, I'd really like further exploration into why they don't outperform a single 6800GT. I suppose it's b/c more ROPs become more helpful as people crank the res and AA in order to stress the setup?

Finally, on a more practical note, I've read posts of dual-monitor systems running at half speed unless the second monitor was disabled before gaming. Is this an issue with one monitor per card?

It would be interesting to see this methology applied to graphics cards. It should be possible to deduce % of time the chip is memory bound and % of time the chip is idle from these results. A lot more work though as chips should be tested with atleast 3-5 different core/mem clocks.

I'd just be interested to know how SLI works.
