Doom 3

Doom 3 is tested in both single and dual GPU situations, in both High Quality and Ultra Quality modes. AFR is the SLI mode of choice.

High Quality


Spot the difference between the MSI boards and the reference hardware. Answers on a postcard to "They're the same, HEXUS Towers, England, UK".

Ultra Quality


Spookily similar in the reliable Doom 3, in Ultra Quality mode. What about percentage gains?

Gains to be had


The 6600 GTs have more to gain in absolute terms, than the 6800 GTs they're compared against. However, as we saw with Far Cry, the performance of a pair of SLI 6600 GTs is less than a single 6800 GT, negating its usefulness as an upgrade path at current price levels.
