A Look At Triple-GPU Performance And Multi-GPU Scaling

It’s been quite a while since we’ve looked at triple-GPU Crossfire and SLI performance – or for that matter looking at GPU scaling in-depth. While NVIDIA in particular likes to promote multi-GPU configurations as a price-practical upgrade path, such configurations are still almost always the domain of the high-end gamer. At $700 we have the recently launched GeForce GTX 590 and Radeon HD 6990, dual-GPU cards whose existence is hedged on how well games will scale across multiple GPUs. Beyond that we move into the truly exotic: triple-GPU configurations using 3 single-GPU cards, and quad-GPU configurations using a pair of the aforementioned dual-GPU cards. If you have the money, NVIDIA and AMD will gladly sell you upwards of $1500 in video cards to maximize your gaming performance.

I just think is crazy the amount of money people spend on video cards for just a small percentage in performance.
I'm happy with my EVGA GeForce GTX 570, plenty of power to play all my games maxed at 1080p on my Samsung 46" lcd tv.

I am currently running Two 5970's in Crossfire and could not be happier.

BeastlyRig5502d ago

3 screens? if not then wow..

hoops5502d ago

3 monitors. 24" each. Once you go 3 monitors or more. It's SO HARD to go back to gaming on one monitor or your HD TV. It spoils your ass I tell you LOL

ktr5502d ago

Lol, three 580s consume ~1200w of power...

PS360PCROCKS5502d ago

I have 2 560's and couldn't be happier. With the new beta drivers I get over 90FPS in 1080P in 3D on Crysis 2. i can max out Crysis, Warhead, Mafia 2 and Metro 2033 in 1080P and have no issues at all with framerates. I'm happy, maybe in 2 years I'll upgrade my CPU from the 2500K to one of the new ones and get the more PCI-e lanes and get a 590 or something or whatever's the best.

I can max Crysis 2 at 1920 x 1080 in 3d with a single 570, it is not a very demanding game.

I can't max mafia 2 in 3d though, but it still looks sweet on a combination of medium/high settings.

Just cause 2 and dead rising 2 look amazing in 3d, I suggest you try them if you get chance.

PS360PCROCKS5502d ago

Ya I know Crysis 2 sucks lol. Looks nice but not what I was expecting. Ya in Mafia 2 I max it all out and run my secondary card for PhysX and get like 45-50FPS that was with old drivers so I assume it's a little better now. I will try just cause 2 though, i liked the 360 demo.

Modestmex5502d ago

Oh yeah well im still running on 2 bfg 280gtx's oc and triple display monitors but mainly game on one. and these bad boys are still running most of the games maxed out.

Assassin’s Creed 1 Remake Reportedly in Development

A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.

Goodguy0112h ago

Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol

Cacabunga6h ago

The most repetitive and boring ass game I have ever played. I wont get it even for free.. I had nightmares of this game it was utter garbage.

PRIMORDUS6h ago

The company is called Ubishit for a reason 😂

Out of curiosity how old are you ? 2007 was a great year for gaming, and it was one of the most impressive and enjoyable games of that year, probably in the top 10 of most people.

MDTunkown51m ago

@Aloren Assassin's Creed 1 at that time was a good looking game and in unique settings the game also hinted at an serious story but game play wise it was a short game with boring missions and basically no side activities beside flag collecting so ironically many back then played the game for story.

But the game didn’t aged as good as other heavy hitters from 2007 like bioshock, crysis, half life and etc.

Relientk7711h ago

If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements

Lionsguard7h ago

This was one of my most hyped games back in the day only to be let down so damn bad. AC2 made up for it but yes, this is one game that doesn't just deserve a remake, it needs to be stripped down to the bare parts and completely rebuilt from the ground up because it's problems were basic and fundamental and if those things aren't fixed, no fresh coat of paint is going to fix it.

Alek8311h ago

Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.

Inverno11h ago

We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?

ravens527h ago

Finally. Bring back Desmond and finish his story. 🤦🏾 Yall fcked up massively killing him and that future story.
