NVIDIA GeForce 6800 SLI concept - tech
(hx) 03:22 PM CEST - Jun,28 2004 - Post a comment / read (5)
You might remember Voodoo2 that enabled 3Dfx to lead the market for some brief period of time due to SLI (Scan Line Interleave) connection that coupled two cards together to double the total performance. This idea wasn't offered as a concept, because naturally there were no boards with two AGP slots. But PCI-E seems to change this, because a number of Tumwater-based workstations will have two PCI-E x16 slots that would provide a base for testing.(thanks Digit-Life)
So, getting to the matter, today NVIDIA introduced a SLI concept on GeForce 6800. While Voodoo2 SLI utilized a cable connection, NVIDIA utilizes SLI (Scalable Link Interface; or MIO) connector. It enables two cards to share the load using respective algorithms. Like one card handles upper half of the screen and another handles the lower half. No particular performance results were officially announced. But an undisclosed source said that GF 6800 tandem is 77% faster than a GF 6800 with unoptimized drivers. Meanwhile NVIDIA expects 90% performance boost.

The NDA is now officially up on nVidia's SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology, so there are plenty of sites with information up about this rather smart feature. Check out the links below for everything you'll possibly need to know:

Bill Gates> We're looking to implement this technology into the XBOX 2.
