Incase you don't know what SLi is, it is a technology that Nvidia have developed where a person can have 2 graphics cards in a motherboard working simultaneously as one. The operating system just sees one (much like a raid harddrive array). It all sounds like wonderful stuff, but can it really bring the performance boost one would imagine 2 cards working together would ? AnandTech have put together a rigorous benchmark set up to find out just how much POW can be achieved... Just a few weeks ago our own Wesley Fink and I traveled to NYC to meet with NVIDIA and, more importantly, to get some first hand experience with nForce4 and nForce4 SLI platforms. As you'll know from our previous coverage on the topic, nForce4 SLI is the highest-end nForce4 offering outfitted with a configurable number of PCI Express lanes.
