2 6600gt vs. x850pro vs 6800ultra

[diduknowthat]

which one would outperform the other, if they're put in exactly identicle systems?

2X 6600gt in sli or
x850pro
or 6800ultra

if so, which one and by how much?

2x 6600GT
6800 Ultra
x850 PRO

The 6600 GT SLI is clearly on top, with the 6800 Ultra and x850 PRO following far behind. The x850 PRO is jsut slightly behind the Ultra.

that test looks a bit messed up...how could 6800ultras in sli not outperform a single 6800gt?

i think 2 6600gt's are faster than 1 6800 ultra without antialiasing, but are slower with anti-aliasing. i believe this is due to the difference in pipelines. but 1 6800ultra later upgraded to 2 6800 ultras is vastly superior, or better yet 1 7800gt

THG's pages have changed urls. Which test were you looking at?
