With SLI/CF does it double the video memory?

[boomheadshot45]

I'm just asking this because this one guy on this other forum thinks it does, He thinks it does but it doesn't, with 2 x 7900 gtx 512 mb's, you don't get 1024 gb of memory. I used search and i went through the 7 pages of results, thanks

it does not double the memory, each GPU still has its own memory to use, so for 512mb cards in sli each gpu has access to 512mb

Send this link to him, since he needs a little schooling:

it sounds nice though.

One GPU and its memory handle one frame (or part of a frame), and the second GPU and its memory handle the other.

Your right, it doesn't.
