The power of the 8800gt (SLI)

Music: U2-MoFo

3DMark06 score: 13750 (w/o SLI)
[I don't know how to enable SLI in 3dmark06 basic edition)

*NOTE* I recorded with fraps at 30fps at -HALF- SIZE. This makes the watermark appear larger than normal. EVERYTHING is recorded at 1280x1024 EXCEPT Flight simulator, which is recorded at 1024x768.

Frame rates (when not recording)-

Crysis-Everything on High- about 30~60fps (thank you SLI!)

Nvidia box of smoke demo- about 35~58 fps

Nvidia froggy demo- about 30~45 fps

Flight Sim X (when everything is at ultra high, not in the video) 11~35 fps

America's Army (all settings max) about 74~120 fps


Something Interesting- I was playing around with the Crysis settings and I was on my MP account and I noticed I was lagging alot. I checked my settings and I noticed that for some reason the res was set to 1024x768. I switched back to 1280x1024 expecting more lag and to my astonishment I got BETTER frame rates, no hang ups!!! Who knew that higher resolutions could lead to better performance, LOL.

the 8800gts 512mb alpha dog one performs just as good as 2 8800gts 640mb ones in SLI. it even outperformed my gtx768 mb one by 2fps in crysis

[imachavel]

is this really easier then installing one graphics card with twice the performance bit processing and video ram??? JESUS it only looks like crysis at it's higher settings, no offense.

@Aquahorseify Nevermind, I got myself an Athlon x3 450, 4GB of Kingston HyperX, XFX HD6850 and ASRock M3A770DE :)

@DownloadFreeThings Get yourself a better card, like a radeon 4850 1gb for same price range....or a gtx 460 if you're serious about gaming, make sure they're compatible though

Currently I have :

AMD A64 x2 3.47GHz

4GB DDR2-830MHz

Gainward 8800GT 1024MB OC

I get 'bout 30 fps on high

I'm planning on getting an AsusTEK M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless for 55$ and a Gainward 8800GT 1024MB for $90...

Will i get 25 fps on Very High 1400x1050?
