nVidia GF 7900 GTX Extreme 512MB - and SLI?

May 06, 2006 leapfrog link
Just wondering... (Devs too)... anyone try VO with a SLI setup with two nVidia GF 7900 GTX's? I just upgraded my gaming comp, and while I was at it plopped in a solo 7900... but now I am wondering... if one is "fantastic", could two be "unbelievable"?

But with everything maxed out at 8xAA, 8xAniso, my 7800GT gets >100fps everywhere. So a 7900GTX Extreme 512 could probably do 16xAA 16xAniso, and then you'd be absolutely maxed out for everything and still only using one card. What would be the point?

Well... namely framerate preservation at higher res... I haven't had benefit of seeing the new "texture pack" John mentioned (but I look forward to it)... oh, and I'm running a 24-in widescreen...

Well, if you need it, I'm sure it'll work. SLI works with just about every game in alternate-frame mode, doesn't it?

Yeah... good point...

And one of the reasons I asked the original question... but it seems that SLI has not quite made it here... yet... I think I'll go ahead and drop the second card in... nothing to lose, and fun to gain.

Thanks anyway.
