nVidia Quadro FX4500 Review

It was a nice review, but I'd would have liked to see the a SLI test run with the Asus A8N32-SLI to see if the Pro apps benefit from the having all 16 lanes for each card. Also, I found it odd that in the conclusion to the article it was stated that there was a huge performance difference between consumer and professional cards, but a GeForce 7800GTX wasn't tested alongside the Quadro to back up that statement. If I'm going to shell out the cash for a QuadroFX 4500, I'd like to know exactly how much of a performance boost I'm getting for price premium. I also would love to see a review of a consumer card that had been flashed or nV Strap'd into an equivalent pro card vs. the real thing to see if there is enough of a benefit (stability or performace wise) for students or serious hobbyists to shell out cash for the real thing.

AFAIK, there isn't a single DCC application that takes advantage of SLI to this date.

Generally, applications don't need any special coding to take advantage of SLI.
