Deux ans après sa première apparition publique, la technologie Quad-SLI de NVIDIA fait toujours peine à voir. Alors quon aurait pu espérer que ces 24 longs mois permettent aux ingénieurs de la firme de Santa-Clara de remédier à la plupart des limitati...
Performance increase negligible or decreases on some applications, Very expensive
In the end quad SLI does work and performs well on some games like Crysis. As with any high-end product it costs a lot and that will keep quad SLI out of the hands of most gamers. The cards along in this test are around $1200 for the pair. You can buil...
An Additional 256 megs of available framebuffer, which in some scenarios can provide a benefit, Only requires 6 pin power connectors, Conclusion, With the advancements to Nway and AFR scaling under Vista, the Geforce 9800 GX2 Quad SLI system is a force to be reckoned with and is able to provide the most consistent performance and gaming experience yet encountered. Quad SLI scaling is no longer hit and miss like it was back in the days of the 7950 GX2 and, unlike Tri SLI, thermal management shouldn't be as much of a concern using this setup. With SLI compatibility with any Nforce SLI capable board on the market, many more users will have the option to experience 9800 GX2 Quad SLI performance. With Nway providing a more consistent scaling experience, the 9800 GX2 is able to stand on its own and as an SLI solution, 9800 GX2 Quad SLI remains an expensive solution, the most expensive currently available. But with that expense comes the ability to use your High Definition displays at playable performance and immediate results in most applications. And those finding themselves CPU limited can enable the hidden Quad SLIAA routines in the drivers from the 7950 GX2 days that to provide a completely different experience, content not found

Will the nVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 be for you? Not unless youre ready to swallow the £350-plus sticker price or youre a bleeding edge-gamer (with an inferiority complex). Its one of those things to admire from afar that only tech editors and technoph...
Avec le GeForce 9800GX2, nVIDIA frappe une nouvelle fois son concurrent là où ça fait mal, c’est-à-dire sur le secteur des performances. Il n’y a pas photo, aucune carte graphique actuelle n’est plus performante qu’une GeForce 9800...
We can see that a single 9800 GX2 regularly outperforms two 8800 GTS cards in SLI, but that the difference is really not that big. In fact, in most cases it is negligible. The biggest performance advantage was 21 percent, in Crysis. This could be att...
Once again NVIDIA sets its self on top of the graphics card performance pile. AMD is able to keep up with 3x (or more) 3870 cards in Oblivion, but everywhere else its the 9800 GX2 on top. As far as single card solutions, the 9800 GX2 is currently the...
As a product that had been widely speculated and probably even dissected by certain enthusiasts before it even made its debut, the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GX2 has pretty much lived up to expectations. We knew that it would feature two G92 cores, hence its ...
There’s something unlikeable about the GeForce 9800 GX2 – it’s hardly the most well designed card, being hot and bulky, and slapping two PCBs together isnt the most elegant way for Nvidia to make a new high-performance card. For the GeFo...
Officially, Quad SLI isn’t due out till the 25th, so there is still a high chance that NVIDIA have another driver up their sleeves. We can see that we just couldn’t play Crysis at 1920 x 1200 which is a bit of a bummer due to the fact that at...
