it is an awesome gaming experience if you also have the monitor.
What kind of monitor would that be? I'm interested because I could give my monitor to them and upgrade mine :twisted:
There was a debate about this on a thread about 2 weeks ago. The poitn whats trying to determine whether or not SLI was a success. The conclusion drawn was that it was to the extent it can be. It is and will always be a budget limited techonology, thats a given. Add to that the fact nVidia and ATi keep shrinking product life cycles and SLI (not neglecting crossfire, just sli is less to type) is doomed, at least in mainstream.
I game at 1600x1200 on my 20" LCD monitor and I can definately tell a diffrence in frame rates with 4xAA enabled on BF2. It's a situationaly depdent technology, like much of the computer industry. What is good for one, is not for another. I enjoy the high res on my monitor, so it wasn't as unreasonable for me to take the SLi plunge.
However, if you game at 1280x1024, or 1024x768 there is absolutely NO reason for SLi beyond measuring your e-penis or the size of your wallet. No offense meant.
So take SLi as it is, not what some might expect it to be. Its not intended for everyone (though they try), it is intended to cater to the gaming crowd with some extra money to burn, and it does that well.
