NVIDIA's SLI in action
Double-barreled badness
YOU COULD SAY that I've been burning the candle at both ends in order to bring you benchmarks of NVIDIA's new SLI multi-GPU rendering technology, but the truth is, I've been flat out microwaving the darned candle. NVIDIA's SLI tech is about as cool as it gets, and I wanted to see what happens when you pair up a couple of GeForce 6800 Ultra cards for a PC graphics solution nearly twice as powerful as anything else available. Not only that, but I wanted to see how an SLI rig would compare to the latest cards from ATI and NVIDIA in today's biggest games—including Half-Life 2. Read on for a quick look at the performance of NVIDIA's SLI versus an array of competitors stretching down to the $199 mark.
