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.
