In my ever continuing quest to learn as much as I can to prepare for my next system, I wanted to ask questions on SLI.
I know what it is, but what I don't know is where exactly does it benefit?
For example, one scenario I was thinking of doing was getting a 7900GT 256mb card for now, then down the road, dropping in another 7900GT in SLI mode. Seems like a good idea, right?
My question though is, what are the major benefits of running SLI? Do you see better results at higher or lower settings? For example, my rig is going to be running 1280x1024 @60hz. Would SLI benefit me at all?
When I look to the future and some of the games I look forward to playing:
-Company of Heroes
-Battlefield 2142
-Supreme Commander
-Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
I'd love to crank up the detail levels greatly for maximum viewing pleasure.
Can someone break it down for me, tell me where SLI makes the biggest difference?
Thanks
