NVIDIA nForce4 SLI for Pentium 4 - 1st Benchmark Results

HEXUS has exclusively obtained the following benchmark results of a Pentium 4 nForce 4 system running ID Software’s Doom 3, and perhaps in some comparisons, the platform as a whole is not looking too healthy. Here’s what we done got:

NVIDIA nForce 4 for Intel Pentium 4 (A02 Silicon) – P4 3.4GHz - Doom 3, High Settings, 1600×1200, 6x Anti-Aliasing
NVIDIA GeFORCE 6800 Ultra - 45.9 FPS
NVIDIA GeFORCE 6800 Ultra SLI - 55 FPS

So, a 22% increase in performance in adding a second £400 or so of graphics card… We’ll let you make your mind up as to whether the 9.1 FPS is worth the bucks.

..From a prospective purchasers perspective, and one who has no preference which companies’ microprocessor is installed, then the obvious comparison is between an AMD or Intel NVIDIA SLI system, and for the present, if the numbers we have are correct, and we believe they are, then the choice is looking decidedly obvious - an AMD based NVIDIA SLI system looks set to simply wipe the floor with an Intel Pentium 4 SLI system.
