Geforce GTX 470 SLI spotted on MSI Fuzion
Working next to HD 5870
The guys from Ati-forum managed to score a rather interesting picture of two GTX 470 cards in SLI mode working next to AMD's HD 5870.
Considering the fact that Fermi is launching tonight there is nothing really exclusive to see, but it's always fun to see Geforce cards working next to AMD's Radeon, and when Geforce are actually two GTX 470 in SLI, it's even more funny.
The testbed included MSI's Big Bang Fuzion motherboard with Intel's Core i7 860 CPU working at 2.9GHz and happily running 3DMark06. Bear in mind that those new drivers for Lucid's Hydra chip are still being developed and are probably in beta, so you shouldn't mind the score.
The system has scored a total of 18,823 points with 8x AA and Anisotropic Filtering at 1920x1200 resolution. It looks like the main GPU was ATI Radeon HD 5800 series, at least according to 3DMark06 but we have no additional information on it.
