I read that. Looks like they rendered 2 seperate images instead of 1 image.

I sitt cant choose:
6800GT or X850XT and this talking about SLI and ATI cards also working with SLI doesn´t make it easier

Has anyone here ever pre-ordered an item from ComputerHQ before? I was thinking about pre-ordering the DFI SLi but i'm not sure how it works. Will they notify me when the board comes in with info on the exact model and price before they ship it to me?
And one last measurement in UT2004 without the SLI connector hooked up, 1600x1200 4xAA/8xAF:
With SLI connector (2 cards): 153.3 FPS
Without SLI connector disabled (2 cards): 133.0 FPS
Single card (1 card): 101.1 FPS
thats a quote from the performance analysis, with ATI and nvidia they rendered two separate images, but in the UT2k4 with two 6800Gt's they rendered the same image without the SLI connector.

Skip, I see your currently running a P3. What's your next big upgrade ?
Im just glad ATI is doing it the simpler and more elegant way. God forbid if I somehow break the connector or lose it somewhere.
The difference is that Nvidia way work on any motherboard having 2 pci-E that u can plug ur grafix card on
Ati way will only work on chipset and board using their technology
Any word on when ATI will actually have their solution available?
