http://forums.evga.com...p;m=321112&mpage=1 So in the above thread, I had previously concluded that the 9800GT gives a huge boost to a single 480 GTX but only a very small boost to 2 480 GTX in SLI.
It turns out that was a wrong conclusion. The previous results were based on running the test at 4xAA in 1920x1200. I got very different results once I turned the AA up to 32xAA. As you can see, a 9800 GT offers tremendous benefits when the two 480 GTX are working at full load. Even when the 480s are greatly overclocked, they fail to come close to matching a 9800GT + 2 stock 480. It's just not so apparent when the 480s aren't working so hard on graphics.
