The current game can't even fully utilize even a single 8800GTX card, let alone SLi. It's overly, massively over powered.

Add-on:
I ran Supreme Commander in max resolution and the loading was instant and the gameplay is very smooth.
NFS Carbon is very smooth until I pause the game for some time and play back, a bit jerky. Maybe it's too hot.

actually the game might be not fully utilize it, but when comes into super-duper hi-resolution say @2048x1536 or even higher...8800GTX SLI might be the solution...thumbup.gif

Single 8800GTX is NOT "overly, massively over powered". From what I've tried so far, a single 8800GTX cant even handle Oblivion n COD2 at 2560x1600 n max graphics detail. For that, I'll need SLi.

DX10 is lame:
(1) No game support currently. Maybe another 2 years to become mainstream.

(2) If VISTA don't take off fast enough, DX10 is also pointless. Also, with so many problems with VISTA, i'll prefer to stick to XP as my gaming platform for another 1 or 2 years at least.

(3) VISTA support for Creative sound card is quite lame. Very lame in fact. With no EAX support, all your high-end X-fi and even Audigy card is forced to sound like a normal built-in soundcard. OpenAL support currently is still pretty dodgy and nowhere near the hardware acceleration level of EAX.

it coz it lack of software and driver, not many support win vista at the moment...

GPU performance is based on display resolution. Higher res needs higher GPU tongue.gif
