Well lots of people wonder how the old SLI systems hold up against newer single cards. Well today i found out how my old GPU setup fared against a single EVGA 9600GT. System: AMD Athlon X2 3800+ 3GB RAM PC3200 DDR400 PSU Blue Storm 2 500W A8N SLI Deluxe Motherboard 3DMark06 Scores: 2x6800Ultra SLI setup: 5119 9600GT setup: 7171 The test wasn't run on clean install so the scores are somewhat less what they could be. But i think this clearly demonstrates the power of the newer cards. |

lol...that's quite the difference. I think I'd go for a single GPU regardless, avoiding the (possible) complications that SLI/crossfire brings. |

In terms of actual performance, the difference isnt that big. Its still a low end system. Compared to the 30k some machines score, the 2k point difference is like a spit in the ocean. Edit: The best part is that the 9600gt makes alot less noise. I can actually hear the other fans now, i used to wonder if someone was sharpening pencils in my computer case with the old ultras. |

Yea, the newer cards are definitely worth it. I'm sure it's less heat, less noise and less power requirements on a per horsepower kind of way. I just wish they'd eliminate active cooling completely. Not that I think it'll happen, but it's really nice having a totally quiet pc. Even my home theatre pc makes a bit of noise, despite all the insulation and buffering. I should benchmark this box. I'm just so lazy. |
