The Gigabyte 3D1 Review @ Motherboards.org

“The Gigabyte 3D1 and NVIDIA’s SLI are interesting concepts in video cards. When it works, it works great and is a very cool concept for a video card. In games that take advantage of the SLI rendering modes SFR and AFR, the combinations of two 6600GTs are as powerful as a single 6800GT and sometimes better. Unfortunately, at the moment, SLI has a very limited selection of games supported, according to NVIDIA’s website. We need to wait for NVIDIA to make profiles for each game to determine if a certain game works in either of the SLI modes, or if it defaults to single card mode. NVIDIA really needs to step to the plate with driver releases to support more and more games with their SLI. The latest official NVIDIA driver on their site are the 66.93 drivers from last year. Hopefully we’ll see drivers released on a more frequent basis to add applications to support SLI.”
