8800GT SLI - Performance Results

[thatbiggbadwolfy]

Hey guys I just got my 2 EVGA 8800GT KO cards today (675/1950 supposedly). I installed them, and ran a few benchmarks at 1920*1200... I wasn't blown away but there is a moderate improvement. But it's probably because I am bottlenecked by my AMD X2 6000+ system even though I'm using 4-4-4-12 Micron D9 chips and a nv590 SLI motherboard.

Some results going from 1 8800GTS 320MB (625/1000) to 2 KOs at their factory OC speeds:

Testbed:
Windows XP SP2

System Specs:

(Current Specs: without the old GTS cards, and using only 2gb ram, new 24inch LG monitor)

Counterstrike Source (1920*1200, NO AF, NO AA,Trillinear, High All) Video Stress Test:
8800GTS -> 8800GT
ONE CARD: 226fps -> 220fps
TWO CARDS: TBA

Anyway, I still have to post some screenshots later. Can't verify the core/ram speeds right now b/c ATI Tool needs to be either reinstalled or doesn't support the GT as of late.

I did spend $600 dollars on newegg to have these shipped ASAP though. I'm guessing maybe I should have bought a xbox360 or another PS3? lol jk.

So I'll update later! Overall, NOT breaktaking difference. But not bad performance either.

PS: Crysis went from 28fps on 1280*960 High Details to 40fps but still dips anyway. This is using only 1 card since SLI on the demo is not enabled.

Cheers

Well, I would recommend using AA and AF in very thing you test but Crysis. The source engine in very CPU intensive so you need to off load as much as possible to the video cards.

Yeah I will be doing that. Have a test now but... do you guys want me to post SLI AF/AF2/or Split Screen?

Sometimes AF2 gets better framerates, some people tend to stick to Split Screen.
