3870 X2 Sucks in older games

If you call this working....SLi pulls less framerates in some situations. And only slightly more over a single 8800GT in other situations. And that's before the patch. After the patch, it barely picks up one FPS.

I've been looking to SLi again....I've also been considering the 3870 X2.

I think we're all going to have to wait for the 9800 GTX to see some real improvement in the modern DX10 titles.

Going from 130 to 180 fps in FEAR is not my idea of how SLi should scale.

But keeping that frame rate at a rez of 1600x1200+ with all settings maxed out and the highest AA/AF settings IS how SLi and Crossfire scale. You run anything under 1600x1200 or turn something off/down then your not gonna see the benefits of having multi-GPUs.
