With the stock cooler mine idled at around 50c under load it would shoot up too c.. But i went down and bought a Zalman VF VGA cooler and now it idles at 35c and only gets up to 45c when under full load! The Zalman only cost's 35 buck's.
Jan 1, 11, 0 40, Just depends on the game and level of fsaa you use. And overclocking a single GTS only gave them fps increase. You'd really have to crank fsaa to hurt one card. But that can make for a better gaming expereince. In a game like Oblivion, that can make a noticeable difference on the trees and grass.
Anyway, Anyone who thinks SLI makes no difference apart from crysis is just wrong. May or may not be worth it varying from person to person. But if you play crysis or like to explore new levels of eye candy, and are willing to mess with SLI and accept varrying levels of gain, then don't hesitate to go with two cards either. Mousemonkey :. But would you buy two of them, really?? You shouldn't have to buy a better GPU cooler when buying a new graphics card, it should come with a good one from the start.
I'm still running the stock cooler with the OC in my signature, my OC is above average for an older 90nm process fab. You must log in or register to reply here.

Your set-up shows that two GTs can run together on a Mac Pro, which is part of what I was hoping was the case. I suspect and I'm guessing here that your performance would improve considerably if you connected your two GTs with a SLI ribbon cable.
FYI, here's what they look like: www. It seems that a key function of the SLI ribbon cable is to take the GT exchange bandwidth load off of the motherboard. If I learn more, I'll keep you posted.
Good luck and many thanks! I hope it will run on 1st generation Mac Pro's. If it does and the price is not over the moon, two processors in one slot seems like the logical way to go. Many thanks for the heads-up! Cheers, tyvol. One thing you might want to know is that the first GT must be in slot 1 to get the 16x factor.
The second GT needs to be in slot 4 to get the 8x factor. Slots 2 and 3 don't allow maximum performance at 1x or 4x. It was still pretty good, though.
With the dual GTs however, Crysis automatically puts the graphic settings at their maximum, and the results are terrific. Another observation is that using the GT's, Vista's "Performance Experience" test increases the "3D gaming" to 5.
Not much, but it's something. I know, I know, but then again I have hopes in winning the lottery as well More guidance is appreciated! User profile for user: watt webb watt webb. I am soon ordering a Mac Pro and planning to put Vista and Crysis on it.
Do you recommend getting the first from Apple in your order, then buying the second one from Apple as well, or from another vendor cheaper? Would your set up work fine on the newest Mac Pro I have yet to get one? Jun 15, PM in response to watt webb In response to watt webb Well, I'm more comfortable with ordering direct from Apple. Please note though, Apple clearly indicates that there are two versions of the GT. Not an issue for you, but GT for the second generation Mac Pro will not work on the first generation Mac Pro.
My two GTs work fine in my first generation Mac Pro. They must to use slots 1 16x and 4 8x for best available slot bandwidth.
They each have to also be connected to power from the motherboard, and this is no problem but note that there are only two auxiliary power connectors on the motherboard. That's because it contains two processors in one PCI Express 2. Such a test would, I believe, make the GTs very, very competitive, but at a much higher price.
