Default GeForce 280 GTX Tri-SLI Tested - Crysis Finally Playable?

Have a look at that folks, I can finally play the game on my 30" Dell monitor Obviously it ridiculous how much money we had to spend to achieve that. But yeah .. a truly amazing experience and phenomenal performance. 3-way SLI scales well .. very well.

Strange, going from 2way to 3way yields higher improvements than going from single to 2way

previous Tri-SLI with G92 by Anandtech showed much lower increase going from 2 to 3. Either GTX 280 has much improved handling and dealing with 2+ SLI, or testing of both Firingquad & Guru is flawed




some games really scale well with 3-SLI (3x the performance) others hardly notice difference between 2 and 3 SLI

In the above graph, 8800GT SLI is also not faster than single 280GTX

512Mb on 8800 GT is the cause my friend
2560x1600 with 4xAA/16xAF needs more memory.

check this result from Anandtech at 1600x1200



1600x1200 4xAA
GTX280: 109FPS
GT SLI: 109FPS

also notice that 9800GX2 at 1920x1200 is on par/cheaper than GTX 280.

only people with 30" LCD should consider GTX280; all lower resolutions can find better price/performance products
