The realization of SLI and 3- way SLI regimes on Intel x58 chipset is possible by the chipset itself and with the aid of one or two auxiliary NVIDIA nForce 200 SLI chips. The nForce 200 SLI increase the capacity of PCI express slots, Intel x58 chipset support 32 lines PCI express 2.0 : X16 + X8 + X8, and the application of nForce 200 SLI allows to use all three slots in the X16 regime .
Hard OCP made a comparative testing in 3- way SLI regimes, realized both with the participation of nForce 200 SLI, and without it,. For these purposes associate used the motherboard Asus P6T6 WS revolution,.
In this test the processor Intel core i7 was overclocked to 3.8 GHz, 6 GB memory and three video card BFG GeForce GTX 280 were used . As test application the game FarCry 2 was used. Test was executed in seven different resolution and three quality regimes . And in all cases the selection was in favor of 3- way SLI regime, realized by Intel x58 chipset . The use of nForce 200 SLI chip in all cases decreased the performance by 1-2%.
The delay of nForce 200 SLI can be due to driver,chip delay with data transfer , special feature of concrete motherboard models or Bios. Related Products :
