What do you think about this scores?
THX a lot :)

[Mr_LoL]

an sli system and you only play at 1280×1024? :confused:

[jAkUp]

His monitor might only be capable of 1280x1024

Ah but i was told there is no point in getting sli if you only play at 1280x1024.

Indeed .. actually its a waste of money to get SLI system just to play @1280x1024 because a single 6800GT/Ultra can play nicely @ that res.

anyway scores looks good .. hope nibi enjoy's his new setup!

IMO not really. 1280x1024 resolution can still benefit from SLI in alot of games. It also gives you some decent lasting power to the system.

[jAkUp]

yea 1280x1024 4/16x is not possible on a single card on some of the newer games

hi shrek2, yes is a little poor 1280*1024 but yes, the SLI config with filters is rock in the framerate and...... of course I want to chance my monitor with a 21"inch soon :) .

[Euphoric]

How about HDR in Far Cry at 1280x1024? What kind of imrovements does SLI make?

None , but the game seems to be more playable for me at that res. actually i'm playing FC now with HDR(7) @1280X1024,8xAF(HQ) & enjoying it pretty much!

Do you mind running a couple of bechmarks? Maybe the Research level with and without HDR?

Thanks

Thanks, I'm still trying to decide between a second card or just holding off until the next offering from Nvidia. :confused: Far Cry is the only game that I would like more performance from especially with HDR.

[Fotis]

I don't remember where I read it but is it true that forceware 76.xx offer SLI a boost in HDR?
