NVIDIA’s high-endSLIisn’t just for desktops anymore: NVIDIA just announced that the GeForce 8800M GTX SLI would soon be available from a number of high-profile manufacturers like Dell (and Alienware).
If you’re not familiar with SLI (Scalable Link Interface), it is a multi-GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) setup that practically doubles the graphics performance when two GPUs are working together to render a frame. Usually, multi-GPU configurations are big and hot, especially when using a high-performance chip, so this is an interesting development.
Note that3–Way SLI and Quad-SLI exist on desktop machines, and take a look at the upcoming Hybrid-SLI as well – this is my personal favorite.
