Hands on With NVIDIA's SLI - PAGE 7
Terren Tong - Monday, January 10th, 2005


Splinter Cell

We're not seeing much of an advantage with SLI in Splinter Cell as the 6800GT and the SLI setup are pretty much neck and neck throughout all resolutions. Splinter Cell has a very small hit with AF and does not work with AA due to the rendering style.

X2: Rolling Demo

X2: Rolling Demo once again shows the power of SLI. Even at 640x480 it is fairly graphics intensive and the SLI setup manages to put some distance between it and its competitors. The SLI setup holds a comfortable lead throughout all resolutions and graphics settings and manages to stay ahead of the X850 while running at a higher AA setting in the last benchmark series.

* Note that the custom setting is not a direct comparison between the NVIDIA and ATI card as the antialiasing setting is different - 8xS mode on the NVIDIA and 6xAA mode on the ATI.
