For the Splinter Cell Chaos Theory tests, our game was updated to version 1.05. The tests were executed using the Ubisoft Lighthouse demo. The test resolutions were at 1600x1200 and 2080x1536. Anisotropic filtering was always set at 16x. Anti-aliasing was set at 4x only in the first test while in the second test we had High Dynamic Range enabled.

The 8800 GTX SLI setup shows its true value under the HDR test. The GeForce 7900 GTX SLI system has performance that is comparable to 8800 GTX SLI in the first test, however, with HDR enabled the 7900 GTX takes a major dip in FPS. The 8800 GTX, on the other hand, is able to actually increase its performance while the 8800 GTS’ performance remains relatively the same.
