F.E.A.R.

F.E.A.R. is a very difficult application for the graphics subsystem of a computer, but the combined power of the two GeForce 7800 GTX ensures a frame rate of 60-65fps in 1280x1024 with 8x SLI AA enabled.

There is no difference between the old and new nForce4 SLI platform in this test, probably because the math1ematical performance of the GPU is the main performance-limiting factor here.

Half-Life 2

Half-Life 2 is by far not the most difficult among today’s gaming applications, but its numerous high-resolution textures allow the nForce4 SLI X16 platform to show its best. There is still a bigger speed gain in the 8x SLI AA mode than in 16x. The latter mode is not playable even in this rather undemanding game. An acceptable frame rate may be achieved on a SLI configuration with two GeForce 7800 GTX 512 cards.
