ehh... no...
It looked like that was the game they were running on it when they panned over to the guy playing on the pc.

It looked like it was still choppy.

3DMark06

As said before, FASTRA is not a gaming system, and we don't use SLI. However, it may still be interesting to investigate the gaming performance of our system. Our first tests were performed with FutureMark's 3DMark06. On-board SLI (so within a GX2 card between two GPUs) is supported. We used the default settings (1280x1024 and “Optimal” filtering). See the results:
https://fastra.ua.ac.be/images/image003.png
As you can see, the scores aren't particularly high. This was as expected, mainly because of lacking inter-GPU SLI. Of course, we would still have hoped for better gaming performance, for the times our boss isn't looking... We did not perform 3DMark06 tests at higher resolutions, which would probably lead to better SLI results.

So..they spend 4k on the newest hardware and it can't even beat my system when I'm using 1 card in a 3d06 mark.

No drivers for the GX2's because they're not in Quad SLi.

Sweet... they have the same motherboard as me (only next model up).

No SLI, people, so you can stop dreaming about Crysis.

Now can people understand why I keep ranting about how multi-core CPUs are 'a really good thing'?
