SLI mode
By having 2 x 7800GTX in SLI mode, does that double my texture memory. Both
cards have 256Mb on them. Thx -- This Email has been VIRUS Checked with Norton AntiVirus 2005 Before being sent. |

Nope. Both cards need to store the same data about the scene being rendered.

Nope, as NoRemorse pointed out. This is actually a good thing. Having
redundant data feeding each card doubles the effective memory bandwidth, which helps performance. On the other hand, 512 MB of "unique" texture memory doesn't do a damn thing for even the most demanding games. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
