Judging by this article [url]http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2284[/url] SLI 6600GT's consistantly outperform a single 6800GT (both on the same mobo) by a good margin. However, when AA and AF are turned up, the 6600GT's lag behind, probably because of their smaller bandwidth. With these stats in hand, how would you expect a 6800GT …
