Will 2 7900 gtx 512 work in sli on a sli-dr?

Totally incorrect I'd say on the gaming front. The FX60 is a DC and is a gamers chip. In fact, all the latest nV and ATi drivers are multithreaded and offer about 15% performance increase over single cores. And about the freeze etc, this can be remedied using the boot switch /usepmtimer - all AMD DC owners are told to install the AMD driver for this reason as it automatically adds this switch to the boot.ini. Also, games run faster on a DC than the equivalent speed single core as one core can be dedicated to the game. CoD2 and Quake4 are both multithreaded as well as the upcoming UT2007 and all derivative games based on the same engine. DC is the future . Add to the gaming, you have windows running snappy as hell with a DC so you get the best of both worlds.

 

In SLI, you are always CPU limited in response to your last post. This is the reason quad SLI offers little over SLi. Obviously the CPU limit is reduced when using higher resolutions but there is always some CPU limitation.

 

quad sli is only cpu limited when using low resolutions otherwise its not, sane with dualcard sli and ive used many dualcore processors they only show improvements in synthetic benchmarks they actually perform worse in call of duty 2 quake 4 f.e.a.r battlefield 2 because none of those games had dualcore in mind when created the games get out of sync www.hardocp.com www.anandtech.com many people with dualcore and POOR VIDEO GAME PERFORMANCE, id take a fx-57 over a crappy fx-60 anyday.
