| 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. http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforc...review-test/10

| 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
