3Dmark06
The Futuremark 3DMark06 benchmark was released many months ago and has become a popular test for GPU benchmarks and CPUs as well. You can see my full overview of the new benchmark, what it has to offer over the 2005 version and some other initial scores from my previous article.
The synthetic tests though show where some great potential power lies in a computer with three 8800 Ultra graphics boards in it and also shows how the new G92 does pretty well in its own right in several areas. The fill rate and pixel shader tests scale nearly perfectly from a single card to three cards but the Shader Model 3.0 and Texture tests are well…confusing. On the SM3.0 tests, one scales correctly with the 3-Way system while the particles test actually scales in reverse. In the vertex benchmark the one that is most important, the complex scenario, scales very well up the card stack though the simple scenario jumps around a bit.
Overall though its easy to see that with the POTENTIAL shading and fill rate power than an NVIDIA 3-Way SLI provides game developers and gamers should be salivating.
hi i would just like to
hi i would just like to clarify that a 3-way SLI supported GPU is better that just a SLI supported GPU. Please email me the answer
