The one thing I still want to know is how overclocking is going to work. The cards would technically have to be clocked the same you'd think....otherwise one'd be running faster and drawing "it's half" at a different speed.
Maybe Nvidia will just make it easy on us and incorporate an autodetect and clock testing that checks both cards in coolbits during the testing/detection and gives a result that both cards'll do.
I'm really tempted to drop any further system upgrades right now (3.2E/new ram) and just start saving like mad for a s939 nForce4 SLI setup.....seriously.....it's WAY to tempting.

Well, you'll easily beat 6600GT SLi (duh) and you've got more fill-rate than 6800GT SLi so that'll be pretty close. But the 6800 architecture is pretty good so even with more fill-rate you may struggle to match 6800GT SLi. But then your solution is cheaper (even with a $750 single card) and you'll get it much sooner than we can get SLi hardware!2Fresh said:

Yup and he can run it today, which is more than can be said for SLI.The Batman said:
Well, it's not out yet. I suspect we'll see a paper launch early next month to coincide with nForce4 SLi. We may also see the NV48 paper-launched before the end of the year but I think it'll be early 2005 before there's decent supply of all this new kit and we can be running SLi rigs. That gives me some time to whore myself out and earn some [H]ard cash tho.-freon- said:

See when reality kicks in and all the current 6800 series owners realize they can't have SLI without buying all new cards there will be some unhappy campers. Oh yeah, the 6800 is future proof. Let me know how that hardware video encoding/decoding is working on your 6800
R1ckCa1n said:Nor are Beyond3d users....... I actually didn't get a 6800NU for my HTPC just because I read the encoding/decoding doesn't work
cornelious0_0 said:It's good to know that the features are alive and well.....I've been doing a LOT more dvd ripping lately.....and while these 7-8GB movies are nice to have just sitting ready.....I'm gonna have to run out for a 250GB SATA sooner or later.....which'll give me room for almost 3 dozen full rips.
Hate backups cause of the multi discs pain in the ass lolyes u are right... ATIs SLI solution was shown in Maxpc and it was for an Alienware. Max PC said they think the Nvidia solution will be faster cuz of the bridge where ATI is using left over bandwidth on the PCI Express bus[RIP]Zeus said:
No joke... I have 200+ gigs of recorded TV shows on my Windows Media PC and 300+ gigs of ripped DVD's on my main rig.cornelious0_0 said:It's good to know that the features are alive and well.....I've been doing a LOT more dvd ripping lately.....and while these 7-8GB movies are nice to have just sitting ready.....I'm gonna have to run out for a 250GB SATA sooner or later.....which'll give me room for almost 3 dozen full rips.

2Fresh said:Bet I will give ya a damn good run for you $ with the cost/performance ratio.
^eMpTy^ said:right...cuz you do volt-modding cuz it's cost effective right?
when SLI comes out and it makes your volt-modded xtpe look like a GF2MX...be sure to come back and brag about your cost/performance ratio, though I doubt you'll find many people will give a damn...

SM3.0 is only a preformance gain not more IQ so it means not much to me, of course the nvidiots will try to say "gee but more speed means devs can add more IQ." Well guess what SM2.0b and 3Dc offer much more preformance as well.KayossZero said:I love the fact that you think SM3.0 means life or death to us all
Next trump card people will spiel about is HDR, once again means absolutely 0 to me personally, not being able to use AA with it is one huge strike against it, but the killer for me is what the picture looks like, reminds me of when I tried Digital Vibrance once on my geforce3, and I couldn't help but notice how much more playskool like the XP stock theme looked like rofl.
So there goes you're argument right out the door.
