NVIDIA's Tiny 90nm G71 and G73: GeForce 7900 and 7600 Debut

Battlefield 2 High-End Performance

We have finally ironed out our issues with BF2 and SLI, so this time around we get to compare ATI and NVIDIA in multi GPU configurations. DICE has said in the past that results over 100 fps are not always reliable. It will suffice to say that CrossFire leads SLI at the low two resolutions. Putting a finer point on it goes against what we know of the benchmark's behavior. Interestingly, at higher resolutions (above 1600x1200), while the 7900 GTX and 7900 GT fall further behind ATI's single card solutions, SLI is able to take the lead from CrossFire. This would seem to indicate that SLI has a bit more of a CPU limitation at the low end than CrossFire, but that it is ultimately much more efficient in BF2.

RE: more tests? by DerekWilson, 1352 days ago

There were a lot of factors that went in to our decision to cut down the number of tests for this article. Our testing is not over, as we are planning a follow up article as well.

Can we get separate SLI and single card data? by vaystrem, 1352 days ago

It would be really helpful if you had SLI data and Single card data seperate on each benchmark. If a single card is beating an SLI setup - I can figure that out for myself. In the current charts a lot of cards that should be there, or could be there, aren't because your running out of space.

I mean the high performance benchmarks include nothing lower end from ATI than a 1900XT? You are also only reporting on the SLI performance of the 7600GT in the first 4 benchmarks. Most of us aren't going to go out and drop the cash on an SLI setup right off the bat but instead use it as an incremental upgrade.

Just a thought.

I agree they should be split up, it just looks too cluttered up.

Could you do some benchmarks for COD2? If you have the time... thanks :)
