Do you remember at 3dfx? In year 1998 3dfx introduce new way in increasing of graphics performance - SLI technology. When you had one VooDoo2 graphic board and you was disappoint with its performance, you can buy second one, put it into PCI port and boom - games runs fast!!! This technology dies with 3dfx, but from year 2004 is available with NVIDIA graphics cards and from 2005 with ATI too. In this article we look at performance increase for three models - NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, 8800GTS and ATI Radeon HD2900XT.
We use Intel QX6850 CPU, 2× 1 GB DDR2 memory running at 1066 MHz and eVGA motherboard with nForce 680i SLI chipset. So lets go to the results ...
Lost Planet game is in hands of NVIDIA, two GeForce 8800GTS in SLI beats GeForce 8800 Ultra too, Radeon HD2900XT in CrossFire is a bad way :)
NVIDIA is a winner in this game, Ultra is unbeatable, Radeon HD2900XT in CrossFire is behind GeForce 8800GTX ...
Winner is Radeon HS2900XT in CrossFire? Nooo ... two Radeon HD2900XT cost over 40% more than two GeForce 8800GTS 320 MB, so winner is still NVIDIA :)
