[quote="Short Hand":ecb9f]I am just thinking of maybe using 2 midrange cards in a sli setup. little bit more then a top range card, shiould be a significant performance boost.[/quote:ecb9f]

I really don't think sli is all that, its still in initial stages though, one benchmark i seen showed 2 geforce 6800 ultras in sli beating xn x800xt-pe in halflife 2 by a massive.........8fps eek:

A lot to do with cpu power as well, lot of the sites have said the cpu is bottlenecking the cards from giveing more of a performance boost.

One of my main gripes is for sli to work on games nvidia have to release a "profile" for that game which tells the gpu's how to render it. Plus some games refuse to work with it. Its still in its infancy though, if its not just something they release for one card line then it can expand a shitload, only obstacle then is the price for the high end cards.

Just as long as people don't expect double the performance, the mainstream will be thinking 100fps with one card = 200fps with 2 cards, nvidia say an "upto" 80% or so performance increase, so its not gonna double your framerate, probably boost it by around 40-50 fps on average depending on game, settings, res etc, hopefully that improves as they advance more with it.

There are rumors that the NV50 got canned... I wonder what Nvidia is up too.

Seen that on the inq, the speculation surrounding that is nvidia would like people to adopt to sli rather than them bringing out a slightly faster card so soon after pimping sli as the next big thing.

I am waiting until mid next year for my new sysytem, by then, I am sure the technology will have significantly increased.

They already have that. Just put 2 Vantec Tornados in a SFF case...
