Haven't you read the reviews? SLi is just a marketing ploy.

Who runs games at 1600x1200? That's the only place you'll see an increase in performance.

Anyone who likes to play their games with eye candy and high resolutions would like to run games like that.

I always play at 1024x768 at high settings with no AA/AF, so I can usually afford to stick with middle-of-the-road cards like the Ti4200, 9600xt and 6600GT :puke:
