NVIDIA officially releases the nForce 4 SLI for Intel today,
and we take a look at the technology as well as throwing a dozen
or so benchmarks at it. |

PiFast
Another close fight here, with a one second or so
edge in the 925XE's favour. Both boards are clearly faster than
the PT894 thanks to the increased memory bandwidth.
TMPGEnc
2.521
Not much to say as the 925XE and nForce4 SLI are
within a second of each other.
CDex Audio Conversion Wav to MP3
Same results as in our video encoding tests, showing
that the nForce4 SLI can hold its own against the 925XE in applications.
Doom 3 Timedemo Demo1
Far Cry Bench'emAll
Demo
UT2004 AS-Convoy
While the application benchmarks showed the nForce4
SLI was on a level playing field with the best Intel has to offer,
in gaming all our tests lean towards NVIDIA. However, we all know
that if you're going to spend $1000 on a CPU and another $1000
or so in video cards and motherboards, you're probably not going
to play at 640x480 with low quality settings...
