Nvidia GTX295 Quad SLI
3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC’s. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times, with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
3DMark did not really show the effectiveness of the SLI setup as we were clearly CPUÂ limited, especially at low resolutions. 3DMark Vantage showed incredible scaling but consideration has to be made to the the fact that PhysX acceleration was enabled which had a dramatic effect on the results. A massive 33k was attained with 3DMark Vantage, testament to Nvidia’s PhysX processing power. Sadly, similar results could not be achieved with it’s forbear, 3DMark 06.
Let’s see if this transfers over to our real world gaming benchmarks.
