crosfire vs sli in far cry 2

[gadgets]

for alle som sier crossfire er så mye mer for pengene enn sli så kan dere lese dette hentet fra en benchmark test fra spillet far cry 2.

-- Now to the brass tacks of the issue. We ran the 4870X2 and 4870 in TriFire and for three GPU cores we get little to no return. We get 4 FPS increase on the minimum, and under 5 FPS increase on the average test, and under 9 FPS increase on the maximum frame rate. You could probably get better results just overclocking your CPU a little and cranking up your ram. That's practically non-existent scaling. We ran the test with the ATI FarCry hotfix installed with the latest drivers, and we ran it multiple times in TriFire to confirm what we were seeing. Considering the test was done on Core I7 965 Extreme running at 3.74 GHz, the fastest most efficient CPU known with DDR 3 cranked up to 1333 providing a massive 23GB/s memory bandwidth, and sitting on a state of the art Asus P6T Deluxe X58 motherboard, that's pretty sad scaling.

 

--Moving to the SLI setup we see an increase of 35 FPS on the minimum frames test, or a percentage increase of 68%. Yes we are aware of the remainders but we aren't splitting hairs here, you can't watch 1/3 of a frame unless your system is seriously jacked. For average FPS we see an increase of 47 FPS, a percentage increase of almost 70%. And maximum frames we get an increase of 70 FPS, a percentage increase of almost 72%. Is it just us or can SLI come to partial maturity through the close cooperation of game developers and NVIDIA? Because if we see scaling like this across a wide variety of games, it changes the face of SLI.

Om du har X58 så ja da blir det ok.

Men har du Socket 775 så blir SLi knust i alle totale tilfellene fordi SLi medbringer en masse problemer på brikkesett siden.

Imponerende faktisk.

 

Vell å merke når man får vekk alle flaskehalsene med et bra X58 system.

Sitter på et veldig likt system selv med Intel i7 920, GA-X58-Extreme, 3x2(6)GB DDR1600 og et 280GTX kort og får bare noen få fps under det samme på testen. Noe jeg tror ligger i at det er en i7 Extreme CPU i testriggen "Quadzilla" .

 

Viste ikke om det programmet i Far Cry 2 engang hehe.

Kanskje litt "farlig" å dra en konklusjon utfra en test i ett spill. Hadde vært mer intressant hvis testen hadde inneholdt 20-30 spill...
