439604 2006-03-22 05:41:00 I am speculating here but don't games have to have special code for the SLI configuration. I mean the code to run the 2 boards has to be included in the game code and as far as I know there aren't very many of them out them so you're wasting money to that end.

I may be wrong on this but I'm sure I read it somewhere. (rushes off to find the article)

No Chief, you are getting mixed up with driver profiles in order to know which of 2 different processes are used to split the frame draw thru which card. I dont know of any game current or from the past 3 years that doesnt benefit from SLI. In the beginning when driver profiles were new, there was only about 15 games, but they were mostly current games.

I disagree. Its for the rich gamer.
