i added a second 8800gtx to my rig not too long ago and i saw a nice increase in performance. more recently i added a third 8800gtx for 3-way sli, and i saw only a small increase.

i'm using 3dmark06 as a gauge. single card i was getting 12000's, 2 cards shot me up to 18000's, but with 3 i'm barely breaking 20000's (and that's only after overclocking as much as i can, otherwise i'm in the 19000's). am i doing something wrong?

i tried enabling physics, disabling it, and changing other performance settings, but that only seems to give me a lower score. is 3dmark06 not setup for more than 2 cards or something?

Nah, you've not done anything wrong. Two cards will see a fair bit of a difference, but three will hardly see any. It's a little overkill, a nice set up non the less though!

Well he's running crossfire. ATI's crossfire scales MUCH better than Nvidia's SLI with multiple card configs.

Thought I'd bump this, in case anybody had any good FAQ's I could put in there... Also, maybe sticky it? I see a lot of people making threads asking about SLI and CF...

Sorry if this is threadmancy, but it is stickied, sooo...

In your guys' experience, which is better, crossfire or SLI? I know what Russian777 thinks, but how about the rest of you?
