obsolete said:SLI mode
- Use 2 SLI-ready PCI Express x16 graphics cards (identical cards) on the PCI Express x16 slots.
- Each x16 slot operates at x8 bandwidth. When the graphics cards are connected via the SLI bridge, the total bandwidth of the two graphics cards is x16.
so they'd operate 8x if you're in SLI

I would like to see more evidence one way or another. I think that if that fucker costs 200 bones, it should fucking have the new x16 sli, whether or not that actually does something.
If you knew that, obsolete, then sorry. It just kind of looked like you didn't know what he meant.
kirbyrj said:That review is from an Ultra-D that was running in mismatched SLI (x2 and x16)...basically driver SLI. If you physically mod the chipset, you get true SLI with no performance difference (since it tricks the chipset into thinking it's the NF4 SLI instead of the Ultra chipset). You also need to come up with a SLI bridge.
NACZ3 said:My bad, you're totally right, there is no difference at all modded, I misinterpreted the graphs as the Ultra labeled stats meaning it was the modded chipset when it was really the x2 and x16. If this mod still works then an Ultra-D at say 119 bucks at some places is a great bargain with a little conductive paint. But then again, if you don't already own an Ultra-D, 25 bucks more for a bridge and you might as well buy an SLI-D which I think is selling at around 140 anyway.
