Cool, how much of a difference is there from 1 card to 2 cards?

I have not done extensive testing yet. But, from what I have tested so far:

Call of Duty 4: No change; it only uses two cores
Crysis: Preliminary observations suggest upwards of a 60% improvement

I have not played that game "Crysis" in for ever. Now you got me wanting to see how well I can play Crysis not as a comparison but because I added a 3rd video card for physx and have only played COD4 like this. Good to hear your performance went up so high.

As far as I know, neither Call of Duty 4 or Crysis support PhysX, I could be wrong though.

LOL, figures.

EDIT: So far the only game I have that supports Physx is UT3. I got that info off a list at Nvidia

According to nVidia, the games I have that are PhysX compatible are:
  • Age of Empires III + both expansions
  • Gears of War
  • Mass Effect
This is why I went ATi; PhysX really would not help the bulk of my gaming. (I hardly play AoEIII, I MUCH prefer AoEII (or even AoEI) and lately have been playing a lot of it again... anyone up for some multiplayer?)

Okay, some game updates:

Crysis: 1920x1200 Highspec DX9 2xAA:
Was 35 FPS with microstutter
Now is 62 FPS without noticeable microstutter

Gears of War: 1920x1200 Maxed out DX 10:
Annoying microstutter; exact FPS unknown, but less than 60
Microstutter gone; exact FPS unknown, but greater than 60

HAWX: 1920x1200 Maxed out DX 10:
About 45 FPS; annoying microstutter
In excess of 60 FPS; microstutter gone (Like Gears of War, VSync was on, too lazy to turn off)

So with the exception of Call of Duty 4 (no change) and RTHDRIBL (degregation) I have noticed improvements across the board for the new setup. That is not to say that I could not have obtained the same with trifire, but since everything I own now is not only playable, but can be maxed out, I am quite happy.




More titles and better testing next week.
