knacki99 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Is anyone running GR:AW 2 with SLI RAM installed/enabled? Whats SLI RAM? You mean two Nvidia Cards in SLI? Whats that got to do with RAM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nutlink 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If you mean just SLI, then I'm sure there are plenty out there doing just that. If you mean SLI RAM (OCZ SLI RAM for example) I'm sure there's someone doing that as well, however SLI RAM is RAM that nVidia tested with SLI setups and approved. It's nothing more than a gimmick. At least that's how it has been explained to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cangaroo.TNT 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 This is the RAM I am talking about: http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memo...per_hpc_edition Gimmick or not, it is the best RAM I have ever owned. I asked because I am trying to pinpoint sound issues, and thought it could be a contributing factor. Apparently it is not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 If its a sli issue and you using vista take a look. http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1680 Not sure it will help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cangaroo.TNT 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I use XP. I think the problem is that the new 680i boards are not meshing well with existing hardware yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sorry mate pity Im sure Grin are working on the sound issues. Could be just game bugs or is it doing it on other stuff as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cangaroo.TNT 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 As far as I can tell, it's now limited to in-game sounds. I don't know/think that it's a Grin issue. It might be a Creative issue. I had a lot of sound card related problems with my new mobo, and I was able to eliminate them all except for GRAW 2. Right now I can play with my hardware set to "generic" and my quality set to "high" and I no longer have freezes, whistling, chirping, etc, so I'm satisfied for now.

F_r_a_n_k 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm running "SLI Ready" RAM from OCZ as well (PC2-8500) and it works great. It's not a gimmick that means that NVidia tested these sticks in their board and then simply put an SLI-Ready sticker on it. It means that this RAM supports the new EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles) feature. This feature simply allows you to overclock the memory without having to bother with all the clock rates, timings, voltages, etc... For exemple, when EPP is activated on your board (and you're using EPP RAM of course), you can simply choose something like "OC 10%" in your BIOS and all clock rates, timings, etc... will be adjusted automatically. You can still disable the feature and tweak those parameters manually if you want. For me, I activated the EPP but with no OC, basically I set it to "OC 0%"... so everything got configured automatically (5-5-5-15 timings, 1066MHz, etc..) at the standard PC2-8500 rate. Like others said, I don't think your problems are related to your RAM, SLI-Ready or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cangaroo.TNT 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 ^ Yes, it is great RAM, isn't it? I have mine set to OCMAX (which as you know does not mean they are OC'd to the MAX but rather the OCing is variable). I didn't think it was the RAM, but when troubleshooting a hardware issue you have to eliminate EVERY possibility, not matter how tedious. Like I said, I think it's a Creative issue.
