Hey all.
I will be re-building/upgrading my 2nd rig in about 4-6 weeks.. been amassing various parts for the past 2 months.
Question regarding my graphic card setup... I will be using 3x9800GTX+ video cards in triple sli. From what I've read, I should expect 2.8 times the performance of ONE 9800. But what I'm asking is this: what single video card would my 3 compare to performance wise?
And for the record.. I'm NOT worried about noise, case space or power consumption(rent includes hydro AHAHAHA)... and if the rest of the specs of my rig would matter in the comparison.. I have this: 2.93ghz X6800 extreme cpu oc'd at 3.5ghz, 6GB of 1066mhz HyperX ram oc'd around 1155mhz I think, 1600watts of PSU juice and a Gigabyte N680SLI-DQ6 mobo. Vid cards are gonna stay at factory specs, not gonna oc them.
I've looked/searched around.. found many 2x setup comparisons.. but not many 3x or 4x.. and couldn't find any charts either.
More curious than anything... the whole project is more of a hobby than anything else.. the wife knits, I play with computers .
