well, got my new gts 512, slapped it in, and scored 12,468 3dmarks.
can you say, "bottleneck"? lol, its still a thousand points higher than my SLI 8800gt score.
now i am at an impasse. should i keep the card, in anticipation of games to come that will (hopefully) have SLI support? send it back? maybe get a quad?
then, if i had a quad, i would want the card back, LOL!
i dont think wifey is going to let me spend 500 more bucks for a new mobo and chip so i can get the "full potential" ("c'mon, honey...we NEED this!") of both of those cards. but i can tell you this, i dont think my 5000 really can handle all that ONE of them puts out, let alone TWO. with one card, framerates often dip a little (stutter) when i have vsync on and i am in heavy cover or there is loads of explosions/smoke. it doesn't ever leave 60 (my screen's refresh rate) when i have SLI on.
whaddya guys think?
