NVIDIA 3-Way SLI Performance Review

hothardware.com Tests the performance of the Nvidia 3-Way SLI using current top of the line parts.

"Since this performance preview is targeted to PC Gamers, to start things off we might as well play a game. Riddle us this... What would be the antithesis of a product like a thin and light Notebook PC that is energy efficient, eco-friendly, and performance-per-watt tuned for those of you on the go? Some of you may hazard a guess that it would be a high performance Desktop Replacement notebook machine or perhaps a Workstation computer of some sort. Those might be good answers but we'd beg to differ.

The real answer would be the sort of setup you see here..."

That's gota cost an arm n' a leg!

Wow, I find it hilarious that the load balancing between the 3 cards actually LOWERS the performance on the lower graphics settings.

The one legged gamer that bought those wont be doing that thought. =)

I think I’ll wait until I can put 15 graphic cards in 1 case

dumb dumb.

Yeah, I surely wouldn't waste that much money for such a small performance increase.

They should be working on making faster cores on the graphics cards. Not seeing how many they can fit on a motherboard lol.

Why can't Intel convert one of it's quad cores into a core for a GPU?

That would be awesome.

I find this far more interesting, to be honest: http://www.xtremesystems.or...

Someone actually had smarts to do it without official Nvidia support from the bridges he had from before (OP is a overclocker/reporter @ muropaketti.com, a Finnish hardware site).

more money than sense
