NVIDIA Multi-GPU SLI Technology: New Approach to Old Ideas. Page 28

by Alexey Stepin , Yaroslav Lyssenko, Anton Shilov

NVIDIA returned SLI abbreviation from the ancient days of the Voodoo 2 and Quake II to the modern age of the GeForce 6 and Doom III to once again prove its perfection and ability to deliver the fastest ever graphics solution. But how feasible is Multi-GPU technology nowadays and how high the performance can be with two top-of-the-range GeForce 6800 Ultra? We are trying to find this out here and now.

Rome: Total War

The SLI mode gives no profit in Rome: Total War. In the “pure speed” mode this game, like a majority of real-time strategies, depends on the CPU performance rather than on the graphics subsystem.

The game is rather wayward as a benchmark, but we can see some traces of the SLI effect in 1280x1024 – the performance of the two GeForce 6600 GT is evidently higher than of the single card.
