SLI Primer

Posted by Hemos on from the wave-of-the-future dept.

GFXguy writes "If you are looking to catch up on some hardware learning you may want to check out "SL Why?". It is a short article that goes over the basics of SLI graphics. The article goes over some strengths and weaknesses of this technology as well. It looks like one video card is not going to cut it any more, at least for the hardcore gamers out there. "

  1. The only computer game i play is NetHack, by phocine · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But my brother always plays these crazy shooting games and he's always talking about his video card. I think it's an ATI 9800 or something. I can't believe how hard he worked to buy that thing and now it's probably obsolete! lol!

    He plays "half life" all night. It's crazy. It has really good graphics though and really loud sounds, unlike nethack. And you get more than one life, so that's also good -- I always get killed after five minutes of nethack.

    He says he gets like 70 frames per second with the SLI stuff enabled, but only 60 without it. I guess that's pretty good. O well.

    Thanks, Ellie...
