- The EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW is the best in it's class along with the MSI. Make sure Mac LAN is enabled/AUTO in BIOS 7.

Publisher: We tested the game using the 64-bit executable under and DirectX 10 with the 1.21 patch applied. We used a custom timedemo recorded on the Harbor map which is more representative of gameplay than the built-in benchmark that renders things much faster than you're going to experience in game.
For our testing, we set Texture Detail, Shadows Quality, Physics Quality, Shaders Quality and Water Quality to High, while all other settings were set to medium. Because of how intense the game is, we tested with both anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering disabled at resolutions above 1680x1050 for the time being. There is currently no support for anisotropic filtering in the game, but you can still force it from the driver control panel. Frames Per Second (higher is better) Even though the EVGA has the exact same NF200 chipset as the nForce 780i SLI and PCI-Express 2.0 it still suffers from a very poor memory performance and drops a FPS to the lowest performing board, on top of a couple more FPS compared to the nForce 780i SLI Publisher: Built on an updated version of id Software's Doom 3 engine, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is a team-based first person shooter that recently obtained the title of being the first game to use John Carmack's megatexture technology: a single texture that spans the entire map. ET:QW also makes use of many vehicles and large open areas which means the action in view can get really intensive in this team based shooter.
It's also the only game in this suite that utilises OpenGL instead of the pretty much industry-standard DirectX API. We used the full retail version of the game patched to version 1.4. We recorded a timenetdemo on the Valley level which lasts for several minutes during an online game – this used lots of the different graphical effects to create what we've deemed to be a fairly typical slice of action to stress the system.
We also created a custom autoexec file that enabled ultra high video settings, over and above that of the standard in game 'high', while soft particles was left disabled for the time being. Frames Per Second (higher is better) Again the EVGA board comes out bottom of the table on average, but only by a single FPS or so. Publisher: For our testing purposes, we used a full retail copy of the game and patched it to version 1.007, which includes a few fixes and some improved performance under DirectX 10. We used a manual run through from the Invasion level, which incorporates all of the effects the game has to offer. We chose not to use the built-in benchmark because it's largely CPU-limited.
We used the 'very high' preset, and controlled anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering via the advanced settings tab.
Hello, I was wondering if somone could help me to figure out why this 12 volt pins overloaded and failed. I have looked up the pins and figured that out that the pins are 12 volt. But I do not know what those sockets power up. I am concerned that if I get the motherboard repaired that the overload would happen again. If I can figure out what caused the overload I can replaced said item(s).
Evga Nforce 780i Sli Ftw
I know this system is a bit dated but it works very well for what I need. Also I do not overclock the system because I have no need to do so at this time. I did not get any warning. The system was not running when I walked in the door after work and would not power up when pushed the power button. Thank you inadvance for any help.

Yep.The burned +12V terminal is one of the feeds for the PCIe slots.Usually caused by a poor connection (partially backed out terminal, or whatever) there from the PSU.Can be caused by a modded VBIOS or GPU overclock that allows too much current to be drawn.Better check the PCIe edge connector on the graphics cards and their PCIe slots too for signs of burning/overheating.
Some mobos have an additional 4-pin Molex for supplemental power to the PCIe slots but your mobo doesn't.EVGA sells a little doodad call an that supplies supplemental power to the PCIe slots and takes some load off the 24-pin connector's and that is what you should consider getting if you can get the mobo terminals fixed.Prolly need a new terminal or two on the PSU-end also, or a new cable if it's modular, or another PSU. Biscuit1 I lost a 750i sli FTW board the same way. Check your psu pins to make sure they aren't also burnt.
Does that board have the additional 4 pin Molex near the pcie slots? It was a knows issue on the 700 series boards from evga. Other manufacturers had them on theirs, but evga skimped on it. Oh, they'll sell you a power adapter to stop it from happening, but no warranty help. Were the two cards overclocked by chance (more than the factory o/c)? Also, what brand/size psu were you using? Sorry I should have listed more information about the PSU.
I have uploaded several more pictures. Yes the PSU had two pins damaged, the cards where not overclocked at the time of failure.
Silencer 750 watt Quad Blue. So what I am learning is that the Graphic cards pulled to much power into the PCI power express lanes causing a thermo event. Well that is a relief in a way at leaset I know caused the issue.
I did inspect the cards and did not see wear on them also the dust was a bit heavy that could have contributed to some of the failure. I would like to thank everyone who helped me figure out what caused the failure. I can now rebuild the system with replacement 790I motherboard I bought along with the Power Boost to help keep the power hungry cards fully fueled. I can not find anyone who will touch this motherboard to make any repairs.
I called 5 diffrent local computer repair shops and they all told me I was crazy. I am thinking about buy the parts and fixing it myself just for fun and to see if I can repair the board. The PSU can be fixed and will be reused. WHAT THE WIFE DON'T KNOW WON'T HURT YOU!

Xfx 750i Sli Motherboard Drivers
I have my system up and running for couple days. After chatting with EVGA Support they informed me that I did not register my Motherboard in the required time. I found a 780I SLI not the FTW for 80 US Dollars. I had to find the parts to fix my power supply which was kinda pain in the back side. I also bought and installed EVGA Power Boost per Bob16314 suggestion. I like to thank you for that bit of information. On a side note I was not very happy about EVGA not Warranty my motherboard.
I am a fan of EVGA products. I know that I did not register the product in the correct time fame. But I was not happy that EVGA had a known problem with the 700 series boards and did not notify customers of possible problem. I had that 780I running for little over 11 years with no issues, kinda felt like I lost my Dog. Oh well lesson learned procrastination is not a good thing. Again thanks everyone for helping.
