Nvidia is upping the ante significantly with SLI. The performance crown in the current generation of products is muddy at best but with SLI there leaves little doubt as to who will hold the bragging rights of fastest video solution.
There will also be some pressure on Nvidia's partners who are selling expensive enthusiast Ultra cards. With a relatively inexpensive (comparatively) dual GT solution, there will be nearly 50% more performance for roughly the same price. The biggest question is will ATI have anything to counter this unexpected curveball from Nvidia or will they have to rely on Alienware as a 3rd party solution? One cannot imagine that SLI was a whim developed in a short time and if ATI did not foresee this coming they could possibly be looking up a big hill to climb before catching up to Nvidia in terms of raw speed. The landscape of 3D graphics has once again been changed significantly today. We will see what to make of today's news in a couple years.
