Dual MSI NX6600GT-TD128E SLI Videocard Review
Dual MSI NX6600GT-TD128E SLI Videocard Review  - PCSTATS
A single GeForce 6600GT-based videocard is about as quick as last generation's Radeon 9800XT/GeForceFX 5950 Ultra cards, and then there is the "SLI factor."

Benchmarks: 3DMark2001, 3DMark05

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark2001 SE continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using real-time physics.

MSI NX6600GT-TD128E (SLI Mode 563/1130) 21981

3DMark2001 does not have the programming to take advantage of SLI, which is why the score is relatively low with the two MSI cards running together. We'll have to wait for the 3DMark05 results to really see what the difference is going to be...

3DMark05 Source: FutureMark

3DMark05 is the latest version of the highly favoured 3DMark graphics benchmarking series. It is the first benchmark to require DirectX®9.0 compliant hardware with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 or higher!

MSI NX6600GT-TD128E (SLI Mode 563/1130) 5716

... and 3DMark05 certainly gets a healthy boost from SLI compatible videocards. The MSI NX6600GT-TD128E performs in line with the other GeForce 6600GT videocards in single and SLI mode.
