SLI and memory utilization? 16GB
Last response: in Memory
I am picking out parts for a new build and I can't decide if going to 16GB is worth it. I have read the coveted Sandy Bridge memory write up; But, I cannot find any articles relating to memory usage and sli on the Sandy Bridge architecture.
Wouldn't it make sense that a SLI setup would take advantage of 16GB (4x4) configuration more so than a single card due to the SB internal memory controller configuration ? One thing I did note in tests is that the newer games have became more memory intensive and I can speculate that will continue to grow.
Any thoughts on this? Anyone run any solid tests?

I do not think 16GB is worth it for gaming. I have an SLI setup and my games (Crysis, SCII, Deus Ex: HR, Borderlands) don't even utilize half of my 8GB. IMO, buy 2x4GB of RAM and upgrade in the future if necessary. 8GB is plenty. 6 is probably "enough" but 6GB configurations don't usually make sense...
