The results from the high-end SLI system reveal that it has more than enough horsepower to drive the 2560x1600 native resolution of Dell's 3007WFP LCD. Every game tested was playable at that resolution - even with 4X and 8SX antialiasing enabled! As with the mid-range and low-end NVIDIA platform, all of the games received an increase in performance from SLI and performed without incident.

The glitches:

• The system locked up while testing Dungeon Siege 2 performance with 8XSLI AA.

• The monitoring applet in nTune 5.0 was reporting incorrect CPU and system temperatures.
• The game profile for Morrowind disappeared after a series of changes were made using the new driver control panel. The game profile was also missing in the classic control panel. The profile was restored by copying the nvapps.xml file in the driver package.

Again, we would like to extend our appreciation to the manufacturer's who contributed to the Multi-GPU World Tour 2006 - Abit, AMD, BFG, NVIDIA, and SuperTalent.
