Posted May 12, 201015 yr Yes, it has finnaly come to this, after countless hours of work, the job is done. Up to 4 GTX480 team up their might to face up to 4 HD5870. Scaling, or not, CPU limit, or not, the massive 4WAY SLI review is finnaly up. And you don't even want to see the power consumtpion tests! GTX 480 4-way SLI meets the 5870's | lab501 (Google Translator romanian/english required).
May 12, 201015 yr Seems like all goes down well untill SLI hits 4-Way, then major performance drops. Have you compared the subtests to figure out what's the issue exactly? My best guess would be that the CPU bottleneck becomes too great and non-GPU dependant subtests take a hit?
May 12, 201015 yr Yeah - I know. Still, I don't know what subtests take a hit. Or is it in general? Board related?
May 12, 201015 yr Author I have to study that more. Now I am dazed and confused, I just finished iwth 2 weeks of testing, and now writing, so I am taking a short break
May 12, 201015 yr Nice that someone do these review test with decent CPU speed. It is so stupid to see tests done at some low level basic CPU's. Nice work Tudor!
May 13, 201015 yr Author Thank you Petri! I would love to do these tests even at 5GHz on SS, but most of my readers would complain that it would not be relevant for them, so I found a nice compromise
