SLI Performance Reviewed at Anandtech

Posted by Zonk on from the two-chips-means-twice-the-shiny dept.

DarkSarin writes "Anandtech has a review of dual gpu's using nvidia's nforce4 SLI chipset. They are showing ~66 fps on doom3 at 1600x1200 with 4xAA turned on (a 75% increase in performance over a single gpu). It's not available yet, but it should be fairly soon."

    It requires a 350 watt when used with a standard system. So it shouldn't require 700, but still probably considerably more than 350.

  2. Some of you guys are missing the point by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, it's expensive, but cost has never really ever been the point. Having the fastest computer is.

    I totally undestand how some of you guys wouldn't spend that kind of cash on an SLI system, you just want a sensible computer for everyday use. Well, guess what? I don't. I want the highest framerates possible, so when I play my brother online in Halo or Doom 3 deathmatch, I can SPANK HIS ASS.

    I think that nvidia bringing back the SLI upgrade path is not only sensible, it's FUN. And that's the point.

    So 66fps is good enough ;)
