NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ SLI Tested

“When we purely focus at the 9800 GTX+ SLi scaling, we then see that after 1600x1200 SLI kicks in very well. In the situations where you get really GPU bound you'll notice your performance nearly doubly up, and that's just very decent performance. But that is the denominator in the back of my mind, you need to play your games above a resolution of 1600x1200 for SLi to kick in hard and to be able to witness that return of your investment. Well, that or playing Crysis actually :)

My favorite game at this very moment is Mass Effect. I play it at 2560x1600 with the image quality settings as defined in this review. With one GTX+ card still averages at 37 frames per second (which already is bloody nice for the money), however with that second GTX+ added I end up at an average FPS of 70. It is an excellent modern title that shows Multi-GPU gaming potential so well with. And that's where you need to seek the true benefit, modern games.”
