 GeForce GTX 280 SLI Dual | Triple review test

 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn | Edited by Joshua Finger | Published: June 17, 2008  

   


F.e.a.r.

Now I left it out of the charts, but at 1024x768 we actually reached 401 frames per second. You can see that up-to 1600x1200 the additional CPU horsepower has an additional performance effect on the game with 3-way SLI. But man, that's just sick. I love it.

The same maximum in game image quality settings where used here BTW.

 

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Quake Wars again has the same IQ settings, yet is a little difficult to explain. With the baseline test system I mentioned that the performance of 2-way SLI was slower than a single card due to the the game being CPU bound. Two cards need more CPU cycles than one.

With the overclocked system at 4200 MHZ, we rule out that fact and give it much more CPU cycles. It shows clearly with 3way SLI, though Quake Wars still does not scale extremely well. Then again at nearly 90 FPS at 2560x1600 .. you can't really complain either ;)
