Does it matter, I mean, c'mon.
GeForce 8800, what else would you get, ATI would have to kick some major ass to top it.

That thing is the size of a brick.
Litteraly, won't fit in most cases.

Yeah, true, but still, if you really want it and have the money, that's not a huge set back.

Theinquirer ran it in SLI  Quoted: FEAR is one of our favourite benchmarks. And we thought it'd give a pair of G80, Geforce 8800 GTX cards in SLI a workout.
We got a 75 per cent performance increase over a single Geforce 8800 GTX card.
Yes, we are talking about G80, Geforce 8800 GTX times two.
Are you ready for some big numbers?
3Dmark03 scores 49,400.
For comparison, a 7950 GX2 dual core graphic card scores 29,800 in the same test. A single X1950XTX scores 19,500.
In 3Dmark06, the 8800 GTX SLI reaches almost 11,000. The 7950GX2 achieves around 10,000. In Fear, the dual G80 cards can score up to 48 frames faster than a single card - a massive performance increase - and some other games will benefit from it too.
Stay tuned for more numbers we just wanted to give you a hint. Oh yes, the single Geforce 8800 GTX scores 9,800 in 3Dmark, on the fastest AMD CPU to date. |

How much does that cost...
The only I can think of that would actually need that is Crysis...

How much does that cost... The lowend GTS is about $450, the high end GTX is $600. The only I can think of that would actually need that is Crysis... The only game that is in development RIGHT NOW, you mean. And come on, those procedurally generated effects would help a lot in games like Spore and such. |

I'm pretty sure Spore will be DX9. If it was DX10... Do you realize how much it would PWN your computer?

I'm pretty sure Spore will be DX9. If it was DX10... Do you realize how much it would PWN your computer? Yeah, I don't think Spore is going to be too graphically demanding. But I meant in games LIKE Spore, that use a lot of procedurally generated effects, this will be good. |
