That is a pretty good question, as you select it in the rendering modes drop down for the default on non-profiled games. Wonder if you have to create a profile to use it in conjunction with SLI.
Don't know on the 6800s, don't use that computer much.

So is SLI AA another SLI rendering mode?? For example, when you choose SLI Antialiasing as the SLI rendering mode, are you not doing AFR or SFR anymore? In my experience, I've found more games to be compatible with AFR than SFR. How is compatibility with the SLI AA mode? And what kind of performance hit should I expect with 2x6800GTs?

Wow, those screenshots look very nice. :thumbsup:
To me though that's just Icing since I contently play without AA.

I respect Rollo and all, and I appreciate his time spent on benchmarks, but that is a little absurd. :disgust:

WHat are you talking about?
AFR and SFR are rendering methods. THey have nothing to do with SLI.
SLI AA is merely using AA when using SLI.
I dont know what connection you are trying to make but its not true.

SLI AA is mutually exclusive with AFR and SFR.
SLI AA - two boards render the same frame
AFR - two boards render consecutive frames
SFR - two boards render different parts of the same frame.
None of those modes can be combined. Same thing goes for ATi's superAA.

This sounds right to me, I'll check with nVidia for verification.

Well it is kinda obvious....no need to bother Mr. Green

It's obvious for the non profiled games, you're not forcing a default on them with SLI AA selected.
What about the profiled ones?

It's amazing how you simply must cram flamebait about ATI in every post, it's really unnecessary. There's already a topic about SLI and the modes with actual information in it, instead of your opinion and some useless gossip

I'm not sure what you're asking. Once SLI AA is enabled, AFR and SFR are disabled whether or not there's a profile for the game.

Errrr, why is that "absurd"?
I've spent a significant amount of money setting up my computer and my five year olds computer to run SLI. I have an A64 3800+/7800GTX SLI rig, he has a 3200+/6800GT SLI rig.
It's probably true that a R520 will not defeat my 7800GTXs, so why would I take them out of my rig?
On the other hand, the R520 may well be comparable to the 6800GTs, so my son's computer is the logical choice for the R520.
I'm "winking" because I promised to buy an R520 to test (as I always buy ATIs best card at one point in the year) and some delusional people think I have some horrible bias against ATI. I'm noting that soon enough I'll have ATI in a box again, and they'll have to get used to me being an "ATI brother" again.
That should not "disgust" you.

I think what he finds absurd is that a 5 year old has a PC with 6800GT's in SLI, and will have an R520 in a few months.

He wouldn't if I didn't like to test hardware. He just lucked into having a dad that likes to play with computers, if you can call that "lucky".
