6600Gt in SLI

[Rush]

My second graphics card will be here tomorrow . So am putting it alongside my other 6600GT in SLi mode.. How or in what way will it be optimized ..gaming wise ..does it really pay to have 2 in tandem ?? or should i have just stuck to 1.

Dunno, you'll have to tell us ...

I recent got a 939 SLi system ... and I cannot tell if there is any real "wow" in it compared to my old 2500 Skt A

Maybe I should put Windows on it ...



Naw, I'm happy enough with it.


Nup, you will have to give us all the low & high of it all ... write-up a mini review for us.

if you like high resolutions then you'll like having the extra card, it will aslo give you the chance to run max AA and AF for a better picture quality

Maybe i should have bought a 7800GT and not got 2*6600GT , but for 2 6600GT,s for £120 and 1*7800GT for £200 maybe not.

Watch this space....

2 6600gt's = better than 6800gt

however no where near performace of 7800 series

I'm pretty sure the 6600 gt in sli, was slightly underperforming the 6800 gt, if not then the ultra. However, the 7800 - alone - beats the 6800 ultra in sli.

 

[PotGuy]

7800gt is an astonishing card, and to buy a 7800gtx over a gt (value for money-wise) is madness. You can get a stock 7800gt for £200, whereas a stock 7800gtx is more like £300, and in my book that is not worth it.

however for a while at least, the performance crown lies with ati, with the x1900xtx. however that is £500, the x1900 xt being £350-ish, which is a ridiculous amount of money for a video card.

My cards are both GF 128mb ddr3 and PCI-E but one is 6600GT and the other PX6600GT TDH ..Are they compatible to run in SLi (only arrived today)

no idea, but theres only one way to find out

I think nvidia released an update of some sort that allowed 2 cards of different clock/memory speeds to run together a couple of weeks ago

Just finished installing second 6600Gt card and ran in SLi mode..
Only test so far is with 3DMARK06 and score has shot up from

1926​

to ​

3098​

 

[PotGuy]

nice. sounds about what it should be.

try it on 3dmark 05 - its more reliable

 

[psd99]

thats some crazy result!


how much of a difference is game play?
do u think its worth the money then?

 

[V_R]

Thats a good result, nice one.

When it snows or rains in games it becomes more atmospheric , the overall feeling is though unless you knew it was in SLi there isnt much of a difference.. playing Battlefield 2 now .. the graphics and gameplay are awesome anyway..

Jury still out
