5870 vs 2 8800's

Don't. Sure, it's a power house, but it sucks a huge amount of power and pumps out heat.

What specific issues are you having? Are you running one monitor per card or both on one card? Are you using ISboxer? If not, give it a try, since it can be used to split up the GPU load of multiboxing between both your GPUs, increasing performance at little additional cost.

I use ******** actually, and I have my 4 slaves set to low settings so they dont use up my resources. My main screen will twitch and slowdown periodically and I've even had graphical lockups where I had to restart the whole system. Also, very often I will have a problem where my FPS will lock to 30 FPS even though it was just at 60FPS and the only way to fix it is to restart the game. I have both monitors set to one card tied to the other with SLI, because using one card per monitor produced lines going across my screen all the time.

I asked about the 480 because they recently released drivers that fixed most of the heat issues, and power isn't a problem.



Edit: I guess I cant say any other program other than ISboxer here...awesome.

Incorrect, you can say any program except that one. You continue to say you use SLI, which is a giant handicap while boxing. In your original thread you mentioned you turned off SLI and still got the same performance issues so I'm really not sure. Perhaps try removing that one card altogether so you're 100% sure SLI is not enabled. All I can say is "don't try to multibox while SLI is enabled." I wouldn't recommend the 480 either, it's too much money for crap performance and ATi's mainstream cards are beating the 480 which is newer. As for troubleshooting that particular software you're using...there is an entire community dedicated to just that, on a different site.

Either way, I suggest you GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THAT SOFTWARE.


Besides, ISboxer/Innerspace are MORE powerful and can do a LOT more, at least to my knowledge.

Did I mention there's a free trial of innerspace?
