 eVGA GeForce 6600 GT and SLI
against the rest of the world
(Review by MS, Jan. 25, 2005)
GeForce 6800GT At:

DX9c - 3DMark'05

3Dmark'05 is an interesting benchmark and not necessarily too reliable for system performance since it centers almost exclusively on the GPU. In addition there is an issue with caching of data in the CPU benchmark #1 and to make things worse, 3DMark'05 scores can be manipulated through a number of hacks to generate inflated scores. We threw out the CPU scores (which, when properly run came out almost identical) and we did not use any hacks either, everything was run under standard conditions.


Compared to the single GeForce 6600GT, doubling the resources almost doubles the score.

Moving to higher resolution increases the lead of the SLI configuration

At 1600 x 1200 pixels we see the first relative caving of the SLI setup

The scores at one glance. Note that the relative best performance of the SLI configuration is at the 1280 x 1024 resolution. Red: 6600 GT SLI; Turquoise: Sapphire RADEON X800 XT; Yellow: GeForce 6800GT; Blue: GeForce 6600GT Single.
