What games do best in SLI?

[Chaosmohawk1355]

I currently have a 9600 GT and I'm getting another and when i do, i'm going to overclock it and was wondering what games would be best with 2 9600 GT's in SLI. And one more thing i would like to ask, is there like a "Form" to show the specs of my computer? or like, a layout? because i dont know what to include to make my description relevant... Thanks for any help

Lavalys Everest ?

Huh?

There is no standard form to show the specs of your computer, but usually it's something like

<CPU>
<Motherboard>
<RAM>
<Video card>
<Power supply>
<Operating system>

It seems my secondary question is getting more attention than my first question of what games run best with SLI

 

[krnmastersgt]

Because the question is strangely worded imo. Certain games are optimized more for SLI than CF, like ET:QW (fun game btw) and some games optimized CF over SLI (BioShock is one unfortunately). Hard to say which ones, but if you mean what specific games get the best performance with SLIed 9600 GTs then you should just check out a review for the 9600s on AT or HardOCP and the like, check out the performance charts for your answer.

<2.60 gigahertz Intel Core2 Duo>
<MSI P6N Diamond Motherboard>
<2048Mb DDR2 RAM>
<9600 GT 512Mb DDR3 SC>
<1100Watt PSU>
<Windows XP Home Edition SP2>

LOL

Umm okay why did u just quote my specs?

 

[krnmastersgt]

Lol, because you run just 1 9600 GT and you have an 1100 watt psu. Typically you only need 1k watt+ for power hungry SLIs and CFs or Tri-SLIs etc. Not really necessary to have something like that for just 9600 GTs.

 

[Chaosmohawk1355]

Lol i'm getting another 9600 GT and I know that 1100 watt PSU is a lot but thats just what came with the case lol

 

[Zap]

Wow, what kind of a case comes with a 1100W PSU?

 

[Chaosmohawk1355]

The one that my uncle gave me, i dont know where he got it and i dont know what it is but it came with a 1100 watt PSU

 

[TC91]

maybe its that one antec case that comes with 2 power supplies for a total of 1200w.

 

[Chaosmohawk1355]

No its one power supply for a total of 1100w lol

The Call of Duty games, which have options for enabling dual-card support, (CoD2, CoD4) both do fairly well at SLI. I noticed about a 25% improvement in my fps when running SLI in CoD2.

Pretty much every recent game will do well with SLI. From the two I play (Crysis and World in Conflict), I get about an 80% increase in SLI vs single card.

Whats brand/model? If its a bargain brand case then it won't come close to be putting out 1100w

 

[LOUISSSSS]

prob a pos case w/ a pos PSU.

there is a list of games in the sticky that scales well with CF and SLI

Here's a list of the games that are officially supported by NVIDIA to run in SLI.

Obviously some will work better than others, but this is definitely a list to check out if you are planning on running SLI.

Call of Duty 4 scales amazingly in all multi-GPU situations.

 

[Chaosmohawk1355]

Any others?

 

[LOUISSSSS]

i said theres a list at the top of this forum. u should read it.

 

[Chaosmohawk1355]

no theres a list of games that DONT get better w/ SLI
