NVIDIA GeForce 6800 SLI concept - tech|
| (hx) 03:22 PM CEST - Jun,28 2004 | 
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

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.
