Notes

In order to run BioShock with AA, we’re forced to rely on the game’s DX9 mode rather than DX10. Here we can see that 3-Way SLI scales well in comparison to the single card and 2-Way SLI setups, particularly at 2560x1600. At that res, 3-Way provides a performance boost of about 2.7X over the single GeForce 8800 Ultra card, and 1.4X over the 2-Way SLI system. Even at 1920x1200, we also saw a nice increase in the minimum frame rate, although obviously the margins separating 2-Way and 3-Way SLI are much slimmer.
