Will the new Intel FTW chipsets support SLI FTW?!!

If you want to SLi 7800s on an Intel 975 chipset the below driver will do it. Seems kinda pointless though with the current crop of cards available.:

Too bad no one has hacked a recent driver.

I do run vsync, however, and I can tell the difference when my frames are below 60. Games aren't as smooth.

I may deserve a slap for this but, Do you set your prerender limit to 3 and enable triple buffering.

I think that triple-buffering in DirectX is enabled by default when you vsync on the 8800-series. I've never had to use a 3rd party utility to enable it. There's an option in the control-panel, but I'm pretty sure that it specifies OpenGL, not DirectX.

I never mess with the prerender limit. The slight lag that you get when vsync'ng doesn't really bother me. I'd much rather endure that than screen-tearing.

60fps is more then enough, but Vsync is a must hate screen tearing does my bonce right in.
