well according review.. high yes. but laggy.. indeed. on lower then 1280x1024. read what i say if you want i just recommend to see many point of view i coudl be wrong but the review seem to show me that with cpu / video card. if you put Two 8800GT you'r inferior to a 280GTX. so if you put 3 8800GT : you'r same power as 280GTX If 280gTx = (example 70fps. 8800GT would be 2.8x under. 70fps - 2.8x = 45 / 35fps. still playable but we now talk under. like 15fps. 10fps it a 8800GT not sli he said right
here il show you another example on sli can affect performances on game as Cryisis
everyone who know about video card know 9800GTX IS from 10-15% Better then a single 8800GT easy
http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3275&p=5 ok we see crysis 18fps = really laggy ? what happen when we add two it give 38fps (playable) but still some dirty shade. but even tough we talk abou ta 6000x2. which is lowering the power of the video card so the 18fps become 10fps. 8fps. barely playable for 1280x1024. but he can lower resolution . to 1024x780 and i bet it would run with 20fps. 25fps. with that cpu unless he is having a Sub Zero Cooling Solution & Experienced into it overclock it to +800mhx but uber risked it mostly like play dice it gamble. you could success. you could failure. why take the risk intel overclock like god without sub zero cooling which is purely experimental or we would have more then 25,000 people doing it and Thousand of Review about it if i trow a coin i pick face ? will the coin drop on face Extreme overclocking is about same luck & skill it void warranty tough but we not talking about that.
so we talk about a miserable 6000x2 socket am2 stock speed + A 8800GT Trying to run Cryisis on 1280x1024 native resolution CRC monitor or LCD monitor Right ?! Or is having a 22 inch / 1680x1050 downscaled to 1024x780 that Even worst then CRC monitor down scaling we call that native resolution If i take my Avatar of gamespot which is a tiny cm metrics and i scale it to half of my screen which is now a 19 inch what happen ? it not even look-able it not art anymore it blurriness
what happen ? it get all blurry and we don't even know what avatar it it pure pixel dots well if you down scale a super huge picture you can suffer of the same issue unless compressed or at last it how it look when i try a 1920x1200 at 1280x1024
then look a picture native resolution on paint of 1920x1200. on a 1280x1024 monitor native / and 1920x120 not native
i have both soon since i got a TV 42 inch 1080P I coudl downscale stuff to like 720P but I can swear I see Quality lose
The Equation is simple
So the sli It does worth sometime. but when you can buy a single better Card who offer same performances for less wattage / heat generation source. then it why 260GTx / 280gTX / HD4850 / HD4870 Does Existt or 9800GTX+ MAX overclcoked
my point of view 8800GT is a mid-range card in single pair to low for newest game but it was a quite good card for money back before ATI HD4000 & 200GTX
maybe i'm wrong a little or sound a little rude. but it seem how cryisis is that a money hugger is Question was About cryisis and i try-ed to reply it with the most big honesty i could with what i could see from experience benchmark you can ask the custom pc build union that i'm inside http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/home.php?union_id=custompcunion i'm not 100% sure of all what i state with 100% precission it just my opinion they may reply Similarly Information of what i Gaven in the Two previous post i hope i could being understand I'm ESL Which is a diminutive of English second languages
anyway waiting any reply
