:lol:

So are you saying that SoftTH performance is completely unaffected by getting a 16x multi rather than a 8x on both cards? That sounds a bit odd to me.

Also take a pic of your setup.. id like to see how it looks with diff resolution.. Does everything match up still or are things skewed..




I'll do an in game one a bit later, i.e. this weekend.

It's not perfect but it doesn't have to be. The main thing with the side screens is to ...

did you make benchmarks between 2x8 and 2 x16 lanes ?

No I did not do benchmarks. The reason why is that it was moot; the Blitz Formula dropping to 8 lanes had severe impact on other games like STALKER i.e. sound stuttering and frame rate issues. Once I took the 7300 out I had great frame ...

For what it's worth I'm now on the X38 (Maximus) on a 2.4ghz Quad clocked to 3.8ghz, using the 8800GTS 320mb plus 7300GTSilent.

Performance in Live for Speed is simply awesome.

Having set the side screens to 1280x1024 (1:1 res not needed) and the middle one to 1920x1200, I'm getting up to ...

You using Vista? I had an experience similar to what you described in Vista, after fiddling with the monitor identifiers however I got it running - so experiment with those first?

I found that SoftTH worked tonnes better for me in XP; then again that's before I applied a bunch of special ...

Those other motherboards don't feature PCI Express 2.0... :) Edit: Whilst that link just mentions that PCIE2.0 is there, from what I can gather the bus bandwidth is effectively doubled and dual x16 lanes is supported.

This article on P35 highlights the constraints and states that "the upcoming ...

And what are you exspecting from the x38 chipset?
It can hardly help you with your problem.

Dual 16x PCI lanes. It seems to be pretty fair to assume the 16 to 8x drop is what's causing my stuttering; Asus confirmed for me it's with _any_ 2nd PCIE card, not just a Crosslink one.

I could ...

Ok, thanks, no more $$$ from me -> Matrox then. Glad they listened so much to their customers' demands... :P

I'll wait for the X38 (with Dual PCIE16Xs) and get one of those, postpone the HTPC project a bit and put my Blitz into that.

Bit of shame putting such a nice mobo into that but ...

Hey -
I've got two Samsung 204Bs (1600x1200) - sides - and a Dell 2407WFP (1920x1200) - middle.



To cut a long story short I've found that my new Blitz Formula drops my main PCIE (8800GTS) to 8x mode from 16x when a 2nd GPU is in the PCIE#2 slot.

My only triple head gaming need at ...

I'm an analogue owner, and have been pretty happy with it using a 22", 21" CRTs and 17" LCD - check my rig out here. There's a couple of vidoes at the end of page #1 too, if you have the bandwidth - I'm heavily into LFS racing.

However the PC is used for a fair bit of programming as well and I ...
