In
our first test we are looking at the performance
of the GTX’s in Oblivion at 1920x1200. First
up is a stock speeds compare of the SLI and single
card solutions with 8xqAA and 16xHqAF. At these
settings the SLI configuration provides good performance
however there is still a drop to less than 25fps
and as a result some occasional stutters. On
the whole though, the game is playable at these
settings.
Upping
the CPU speed from 2.66GHz to 4GHz allows us to
increase the image quality further with only a
minor drop to 23fps when we were engaged in a
large battle. Finally we ran each of our SLI sets
at overclocked speeds with the overclocked CPU’s
and found that all cards remained playable throughout
the testing.
