@BENT, I suspect having SLI on is why it is using so much memory. I haven;t gone to more than 2 units yet, but when running 2 only about 480 megs of memory is used on mine.

Edit: Verified, I can easily run 4 on each card. The card with no displays is using just under 1 GB and the one with the displays is using 1100 MB

Edit 2: Although it handles it, one of the units on the display card seems to struggle. I'm dropping back to 2 units per card for a bit to test before I go to 3.

DispalyPort even :-) Hehe. Are you sure that's the real thing, and not something manufactured in a basement factory for illegal computer hardware, somewhere in China?

If they can't even get the word Display spelled correctly, then at least I would wonder if it was the real thing, or some cheap copy of a GTX 670.


No, they are real. Those boxes were on my desk and the cards are now in my machine. MSI really rushed to get them to retailers it would appear.

you can even see it on the MSI webpage:

990FXA-UD7 has 4 double spaced slots if you want to go AMD. Really running aircooled that close together is still not a good idea, but you could fit them in at least.

I've only killed one, and it was an Enermax Revo 850. Not sure I actually killed it should have been only around 600 Watts, but it did die.

I love my 560Tis. They are both crunching quite quickly with no issues at all. They are also both overclocked editions from different manufacturers (MSI and EVGA). If you do anything other than crunching (Gaming) you will be better with a 560 Ti than with 2 550s that you have to SLI. Plus then you'll have a slot left for a second one.

There were some downclock locking issues with them when they first came out...I haven't seen that problem since June though.

Post:
Unless something new has come along in the last 5 months the answer is no, there is no way to do this.

I used to run a 9800GT with a 460 GTX and had to run them both with just 1 at a time until I upgraded the 9800 GT to another fermi card.

It's been a long time since I ran a 285, but back then it ran at the same speed or a little faster than a 460 does now. There have been changes to the scale though so it is really hard to make a comparison. You can't really go wrong with a 460 though...less power draw and pretty damn fast with the newer fermi apps.

I'm thinking 4 560 Ti's on Air so single slot is not really an option.

So, is the only Intel 1155 motherboard that can support 4 GPU (physical cards) the Asus P8P67 WS Revolution or are there other choices. There are reviews out there but has anyone tried one for SETI crunching? Will there be a Z68 version?

1. Corsair 1200 AX, Q6600, EVGA GTX 560 Ti DS SC (the dual fan model), Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB, Win 7 x64, 275.33 driver

2. LAtest version of the unified installer

3. I was, but it`s fixed. In my case is was the EVGA utility attempting to synchronize the 560 with the 460 and then never recovering. If I just don`t use the utility it is fine.

4. 460 runs at 70C under full load (24C ambient) 560 Ti at 80C. Fan speed profile is stock though so only 60% speed there.

5. Stock clocks and voltage (from the manufacturer, both are OC versions though 460 is at 715,900,1430,0.987V. 560Ti is at 900,1053,1800,1.05V.

6. This is left on Adaptive.

7. No


This machine is actually really starting to fly...made top 100 today.

It sounds like the sat modem does have DHCP (of sorts) but only has a single IP available to hand out. I agree with some previous posters, hook your NAT router to the sat modem and all the PCs to the NAT router.

Most good power supplies are actually more efficient at the higher voltage. A lot of the 80+ Golds just barely make gold on 110V but surpass it on 220V.

Post:
The 560 Ti is a hell of a card...If you look at the reviews some of the very overclocked units from the manufacturers like the gigabyte running at 1000Mhz is actually cracking the 570 for some applications...that won't show up in CUDA SETI but they will be close.
