Geforce 8800GTX Sli review

On the 8th of November Nvidia released the Geforce 8800 Series, the world's first DirectX 10GPU. The product (in its GTX form) was widely hailed, and rightly so, as the fastest graphics card available at that time of writing. Since then ATI's AMD's new Radeon has been delayed and the graphics card market hasn't moved on, leaving the 8800 as the highest performing solution available. Shortly after the release of the 8800 series was available Nvidia launchedthe 680i chipset, designed with SLI's 8800's in mind.

We're sure that many of you who are reading will have seen the performance of 8800's in SLI already and so we are going to add a little bit of a twist to our review. As well as benchmarks at stock settings combined with an Intel QX6700 we are also going to take a look at how the product performs when paired with the Core2 Quad Core at 4 GHz and if that wasn't enough, we're going to show how the 8800 in SLI performs when overclocked and combined with the 4 GHz quad core. We also have over half a gigabyte of high definition content so you can see it all for yourself. Here's the review of Foxconn, Asus & XFX 8800GTX SLI-capable cards

eVGA's nForce 680i SLI Special Edition - pre-fitted with FOUR waterblocks



EVGA has a rightful claim to be considered NVIDIA's most enthusiast-oriented partner. In addition to launching a number of overclocked GeForce SKUs, the company has branched out into motherboard production, headlined by its excellent nForce 680i SLI board. Bring to bear its close relationship with innovatek - the cooling specialists - EVGA is launching a pre-fitted four-waterblock nForce 680i SLI that's designed to complement the Black Pearl series of cards. Innovatek's high-quality blocks are used for the CPU, PWM, northbridge and southbridge - the hottest-running parts of the board. We like the fact that the CPU block installs via the reference push-fit clips, making removal and reapplication a cinch. The southbridge block is small enough to allow a long-ish PCIe card to fit into the third slot, as well. Pricing is reckoned to be around Ł330. Expensive, yes. Quality, definitely.

nVidia GeForce 8800GTS 640MB vs. 1280MB in SLI mode



Tweaktown have had a look at the 320MB nVidia GeForce 8800GTS graphic card offering a few times here at TweakTown in the past - we have looked at it in its stock form, overclocked and in SLI. It’s a fantastic card and doesn’t disappoint but in our first article we mainly focused on how it compared against the 640MB in single card configuration. Today they are going to be re-focusing on this situation but when the cards are used together in SLI mode.

With in excess of 1.2GB of memory on offer when the 640MB cards are enabled in SLI mode, you have to wonder are we simply at a point of overkill. Are the 640MB cards for non-SLI and the 320MB cards for SLI? These are some of the questions we hope to answer today.

What is SLI - Scalable Link Interface?

Long has passed after this technology has been brought to IT market, but for those who don't know much about it, here is link to free content encyclopedia definition on -what else then -Wikipedia SLI definition


Scalable Link Interface (SLI) is a brand name for a multi-GPU solution developed by NVIDIA for linking two (or more) video cards together to produce a single output. SLI is an application of parallel processing for computer graphics, meant to increase the processing power available for graphics. With SLI, it is possible to theoretically double the power of your graphics solution just by adding a second identical video card.
The name SLI was first used by 3dfx under the full name Scan-Line Interleave, which was introduced in 1998 and used in the Voodoo2 line of graphics accelerators. When 3dfx collapsed financially, its intellectual property was purchased by NVIDIA. NVIDIA later reintroduced the SLI name in 2004 and intends for it to be used in modern computer systems based on the PCI Express (PCIe) bus. However, the technology behind the name SLI has changed dramatically.

But ofcourse on site is the best source of information for everything regarding SLI, and that's ofcourse Slizone. This page has a really good flash animated movie on how SLI works, and of which parts it consists of..
