High end multi-GPU solutions - part 2 -The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS in SLI

Hi people!

I can only say that I'm very happy to make this post! Since in my yesterday post I've shown you the comparision of Ati's X1950XTX vs. Geforce 7900GTX. And the battle was neck to neck... but I was a bit dissapointed that the test didn't include Geforce 8800 GTS/X series of cards in that test! Luckily that's is now changed - and after a few hours of google-ing, searching around various tech sites, I was able to find a good article comparing Geforce's 8800 GTS/X with Ati's X1950XTX in single mode and in dual mode!
You can go into details on every benchmark, and I think that pictures are are speaking more that anything else.



Several weeks have passed since we first began our analysis of NVIDIA’s new generation of DirectX 10 video cards. Launched on November 8, 2006, the GeForce 8 series have become the leading performers out of all single GPU solutions, NVIDIA and ATI alike, available for retail. Today our analysis will center on multi-GPU configurations of the GTX and GTS models of the 8800 series. At the present moment, these are the only video cards available that support Microsoft DirectX 10.

For the past two years nearly all high-end solutions introduced by NVIDIA have supported SLI technology. This holds true for the 88000 GTS and GTX. In SLI, consumers are allowed to connect two 8800 video cards that are the same models. It is not required, however, to have the video cards be produced from the same manufacturer.
