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

Doom 3 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

Doom 3 Ultra Quality

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

Gains to be had

Doom 3 Gains

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.
