Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX tested in SLI

FEAR is one of our favourite benchmarks. And we thought it'd give a pair of G80, Geforce 8800 GTX cards in SLI a workout.

We got a 75 per cent performance increase over a single Geforce 8800 GTX card.

Yes, we are talking about G80, Geforce 8800 GTX times two.

Are you ready for some big numbers?

3Dmark03 scores 49,400.

For comparison, a 7950 GX2 dual core graphic card scores 29,800 in the same test. A single X1950XTX scores 19,500.

In 3Dmark06, the 8800 GTX SLI reaches almost 11,000. The 7950GX2 achieves around 10,000. In Fear, the dual G80 cards can score up to 48 frames faster than a single card - a massive performance increase - and some other games will benefit from it too.

Stay tuned for more numbers we just wanted to give you a hint. Oh yes, the single Geforce 8800 GTX scores 9,800 in 3Dmark, on the fastest AMD CPU to date. ?
