Alienware official dual PCI Express numbers are go

AN AMAZING SEVENTY SEVEN per cent boost is what you will get if you use special Alienware X2 Fab. B motherboard and plug two NV45 cards inside, the firm is claiming. The test Alienware machine had Xeon 3400 MHz, 1GB or memory and modest 80 GB hard drive.

The firm tested two NV45s versus one and the two cards worked in parallel mode, something the firm has patented.

At 1600x1200 8X Anisotropic and 8X FSAA in 3dmark 03 it claims to have got this marvel seventy seven per cent boost in the overall score - from 1758 with single card to 3105 marks with two NV45s.

In a second game the two cards were 100 per cent faster than a single card and Mother Nature gained from 16.12 to 32.16 while fill rate single and multi texturing rate were hundred percent faster. With 8X Anisotropic and no FSAA it's claimed you will get a forty two per cent increase from 5992 to 8532 marks.

It's natural that you have to load cards with hard task such as 8X FSAA and 8 Anisotropic to show the real potential of two high graphics cards in a real light.

The numbers are supplied by Alienware itself, but cannot wait to test this platform. We know it will come at a price e but we don't think anything can be faster then this. µ
