Looking for some advice from gurus:
Using my sig system as a baseline....
Could my CPU be a major bottleneck for my SLI setup?
Would going to i7 platform be MUCH better platform for these 2 boards?
I'm not having any issues but I think that the scaling of the SLI isn't nearly as apparent as it should be. I'm seeing little to no bump in FPS from the second board, not even in games that are known to scale well with SLI.
SLI is enabled and I'm currently running the latest nvidia drivers.
I don't have a bunch of numbers to give you, just looking to get any ideas whether i7 is necessary to saturate these boards.
The only number I can give is that my 8800GTX SLI scored 17500, while this current config barely scored almost 19K in 3DMark06. Folks on EVGA forums say this is normal, that 3Dmark06 scale for @#$% with SLI. Games seem like I'm getting FPS from one board.
