Doom3: x16 vs. x16/x2 vs. x8/x8 (nVidia SLI)
Doom 3 yielded impressive performance improvements with SLI - particularly in higher resolutions with AA and AF. Worst case improvement was 25.4% at 1280x1024 with no AA and AF to an extremely impressive 77.3% improvement at 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF.

So what can nVidia do to stop this? Can a driver change do it or does something in the hardware need to change?I wouldn't ever do this myself, as I like having my warranties, but for all the modders, sounds awesome!

I get the feeling Nvidia will be tweaking their drivers again. =\bob661 - Tuesday, January 18, 2005 - link
#2They are MUCH cheaper than that now. Zipzoomfly.com has them for $229. I'm getting mine this Wednesday.

Nvidia.... that greedy money hogging .... trying to milk us customers for all our worth.An SLI board costs like $300. If I could get SLI on a $100 nforce board, why stop it? it'll only sell more geforce cards.
I hope ATI isn't that bastardly with their cards and chipsets.

Awesome. SLI for cheap.Though you'll still need an extremely good PSU for it.
