MSI NX7800GTX SLI Review @ Viperlair

**MIG-31** · Sep 16, 2005, 07:21 AM

Today, we'll be looking at not one, but two of MSI's NX7800GTX-VT2D256E video cards. As with most of the good stuff from NVIDIA (and ATI), the 7800 GTX is a PCI Express part. Along with the various assortments of PCIE goodies, in the case of NVIDIA, PCI Express allows the user to plug two of these cards on a supported motherboard for SLI action.

As we've seen with our Albatron 7800 GTX review last week, one of these cards is wicked fast, so two must be faster, correct? One would generally lean towards yes, but the sheer speed of these next-gen cards do shift the bottleneck towards the CPU so in order to get the most out of your upgrade, you will need a processor powerful enough to keep one 7800 GTX busy, let alone two.
