(Updated) X58 SLI Test On Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2

Next, we checked out the performance of GeForce GTX 280 SLI on the Core i7 965XE/ ASUS P6T Deluxe X58 board setup. We can observe that at "Enthusiast Mode", Crysis Warhead is mostly GPU limited and isalmost unplayable at 2560x1600 resolution. For Far Cry 2 with settings at "Ultra High", 1600x1200 and 1920x1200resolutions are becoming CPU limited while at 2560x1600 resolution, it is balanced between the CPU and GPU. Let us know what benchmarks you would like to see.

Updated : We have updated with some single card scores and we can observe that thebenchmarks scale nicely between single and dual cards except for Crysis Warhead @ 2560x1600resolution where SLI GTX280 succumb to stress.
