I still have wood since I ordered my SLI. Is there an opposite of Viagra I can take? It's starting to hurt and I feel light headed from lack of blood flow. Maybe DarthBevis can send me some of that fatty midget de-wooding porn.

Great article. It was interesting to see that many older games like COD do not benefit very much from the SLI config unless the ASF/AA settings were boosted completely and the resolution was maxed out. It also seemed that the CPU they benched with (amd 64 4000+) was the bottleneck in most cases where SLI didn't perform great. Amazing...

It would be amazing to see a game like HL2 or doom 3 running at 100+ FPS with everything including AF and AA maxed out at 1600x1200.

Wow... The X800 Xt PE beats 2 Ultra's in HL2...

The CPU has to be hurting those scores because those first benchmarks are all within 10fps of each other. On about half of the benchmarks the SLI blows the X800 out of the water

Hopefully the new SLi boards aren't too much more expensive than single GPU mobos. If not, then shouldn't bee to big of a deal since you would already be paying for 2 top-notch cards anyway
