6800gs in sli benchmarks

it's probably right. at those resolutions you're not exactly entirely GPU bound, though. the 7800 is for 1600x1200 and higher. and with a P4 you'd be more CPU bound than normal (normal being an athlon 64)
 
That's the wonderful thing about benchmarks-- whatever product you want to show in a good light, there is a setting in which you could run that product that will show it superior to something else.

What kills me is their "conclusion":
If you buy two of these cards you have near the performance of a 7800GT. In most cases, it's better to have a 7800GT over two cards. On the other hand, not everyone can afford spending $350 on a 7800GT, and that's where SLI comes in.
What?? Near a 7800GT? It's obvious, by their own benchmarks, that GS SLI is much better than a single GT. And the last part about not being able to spend the $350 on a GT, but that's where "SLI comes in"....? So, someone can't drop $350, but they can SLI GSs for $500? Doesn't make sense to me.
 
i thought it to be a bit odd i know though sli shows better when at like 1600by 1200 and full anti
that is where it really shows so i thought maybe the gs might kick some butt but judging
by older sli benchmarks usaully sli was not a good upgrade solution
 
as close as the 7800gt and 6800gs for two run,
the price for buy 2 6800gs and 7800gt is bout same
yet it 6800s do not come out on top to 7800gt
plus the psu required to run them this is another nail in the coffin for sli
