Tri SLI vs SLI, but yeah the SLI vs SLI ones are way off.

It is as a single card

The old tech just doesn't scale as well with tri-sli and that's what this awful article proves.

By the looks of it, the blue line is one card, the red line is two cards, and the green line is three cards. In which case the 9800GTX still beats the 8800 Ultra....

I would agree if I actually trusted hardspell more than I trust Guru3d

Edit: Reason being...since when does an 8800gts 512mb EVER beat an 8800 Ultra? The 8800gts is a very slight upgrade from the 8800gt and the 8800 ultra crushes the 8800gt. Also, I find it hard to believe that a single 9800gtx is as fast as SLI 8800 Ultras, it simply defies logic.
