I am wondering if anyone has done comparisons with SLI vs higher memory bandwidth.
I currently have an 8800GT 512. I game at 1680x1050. Nvidia for some reason only is releasing cards with 256-bit memory controllers. The 8800GTX torches the 512 cards in large texture scenarios. What I want to know is if SLI'ing another 8800GT 512 will help lessen these problems.
With the GTS 512 and 9XXX series having only 256-bit memory controllers, performance doesn't seem to improve much in these newer cards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Also, does the 8800GT 1GB truly have access to all 1GB since it still only has a 256-bit memory controller?
