My new sli setup and some thoughts

[zod96]

Well after tons of testing I've come to the conclusion that SLI is great for new games, like COD4, Crysis etc but for older games like BF2 which is what I play most of the time, its pretty worthless. I benched BF2 using fraps with and without sli.

With SLI : Average 58.7 Min 54.5 Max 60
Without: Average 58.2 Min 54.1 Max 60

No matter what setting I used for SLI it didn't make a difference sli just doesn't benefit from playing BF2, in my system anyway. But of course when I tried crysis and cod4 yeah big difference their, like 20+ fps more and more aa and af with sli then without...

Why does it matter? Anything above 20FPS looks the same anyway.

No to me... Now IMO once you get over 60FPS, with every thing cranked up, it's moot

My thoughts exactly anything over 50 fps and I can't tell the difference. But below that and I can totally tell a difference in gameplay....

What resolution and how many goodies were turned up?

Re-bench it with full AA on at 1900x1280 and see what happens.

You have vsync enabled. That is limiting your framerate to 60FPS.

Malarkey.
