The Definitive Multi-GPU World Tour

The Definitive Multi-GPU World Tour is a collaboration between nine respected sites around the world to cover the entire ecosystem of products that make up the multi-GPU marketplace.  In this comprehensive series of articles we cover the basics of implementing a multi-GPU setup and the technology behind it, what products we feel represent the best performance and feature-set for each price point, and how each setup performs using 60+ applications and benchmarks.  Throughout this series we will receive an in-depth look at the strengths and weaknesses of the products covered here, as well as what might be right for users in multiple price ranges.
  • His article in a couple of days will be followed by Tim Smalley of Bit-Tech will be covering the GPU’s utilized throughout these articles.  He will explain the reasons we chose what we did, as well as what advantages and disadvantages each choice has.
  • Bjorn Endre of Bjorn3D is testing the motherboards and processors.  He will not only cover performance, but the feature-sets offered between the different price points, as well as the competitors from the CrossFire and SLI series.
  • Jon Fabricious Fog of HardInfo will cover the common benchmarks and applications that are seen throughout most reviews.  This should be a very large article, and Jon certainly has his work cut out for him.
  • Howard Ha of Neoseeker shows up next taking a look at applications which are high on the Xfire list of games being played by gamers today.  These may not be the most graphically stunning or cutting edge, but they are applications which a lot of people are playing.
  • Mike Chambers of NVNews, Mark Thorne of Rage3D, and Brian Wallace of Legit Reviews will be covering the more uncommon benchmarks and applications.  I am sure this series of articles will really show which setups are well supported, and what ones may fall behind.

Finally yours truly Hilbert Hagedoorn of Guru of 3D will be providing the conclusion and wrap-up of this series.  I will be presenting our opinion on what's hot and what is not with an analysis of all the articles and components used.

  • Part I: Introduction - July 10th, Penstarsys.com
    "ATI also has a history of multi-GPU with several products.  The first big product was the Rage3D Fury Maxx, which placed two Rage 128 chips onto a single card to act in unison.  With the Radeon 9700 Pro and following R3x0 and R4x0 series of cards, ATI supported SuperTiling in the simulation market.  SuperTiling is essentially the splitting of a frame into equal size tiles, with each GPU rendering alternating tiles, or in larger arrays perhaps rendering two to four of these tiles."

  • Part II: GPUs - July 12th, bit-tech.net
    "NVIDIA's SLI Technology was built from the ground up and was finally introduced with NVIDIA's PCI-Express based GeForce 6800-series video cards, after over three years of development. Initially, SLI was incredibly finicky - you could only use a matched pair of video cards with exactly the same BIOS on each card. However, around eight months after its initial realisation, drivers were released to correct these shortcomings, allowing users to pair any video cards, so long as they were from the same product family (i.e. you could pair a GeForce 7800 GTX with another GeForce 7800 GTX, but not with a GeForce 7800 GT)."
