We finally had a pair of GeForce 8800 GTX cards sitting here long enough to get some SLI testing done; and we think you'll be impressed by the results
In our gaming tests, including games like Company of Heroes, Flight Simulator X and Oblivion that weren't benchmarked but were play tested, I was constantly impressed by the performance the 8800 GTX SLI system was able to produce. The single 8800 GTX had already set the bar very high as it was able to best the single card performance of NVIDIA's own 7950 GX2 and 7900 GTX as well as AMD/ATI's X1950 XTX without breaking a sweat. Plugging into two cards showed impressive scaling, despite the fact that these cards were already above the level of anything else on the market. FEAR and Call of Duty 2 saw some particularly impressive results, with scaling in the 90% range, and even the aging Battlefield 2 and Lost Coast tests saw impressive increases in gaming performance
