What does double is your "Cuda" cores, you will have 480 with your GTX275's instead of 240 single card. You might find that the GTX465 1045mb card will give you better performance at the moment on it's own. That being a GDDR5 as GDDR3 of the GTX275. If you haven't already got EVGA "Precision Tool" go to the EVGA site and download it (it is a free tool). See link: -

If you have trouble getting it, send me a pm and I will send it to you it's about a 6mb file.

Cheers

Hi Span_Valalo,

I know it says it is an overclocking tool but I use it to take my clock settings back to "standard" ( de-clock factory O/C), and run my two cards at stock clocks. Don't think that it is solely an O/C tool, you can also use it in reverse in partnership with "Inspector" and then syncronise both cards to same clocks.

e.g.

Memory clock factory setting: - 1900
My setting: - 1804 (both cards)

Shader clock factory setting: - 1700
My setting: - 1566 (both cards)

Cheers

Rick

Hi Span_Valalo

If you haven't already, join "Nvidia Sli Club" which is at the Nvidia site.

http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html

You will find lots of relevant information there, also help with you cards as to O/C. There are different threads for each series of Cards, just put your questions there just the same as you would here. The only thing is, they will scan your system to make sure it is a "SLI" system before they will allow you to join. If you have a "Genuine" SLI system and not a "Hybrid" there should be no problems.

Cheers

Rick
