I got 2 8800gts "Same speed as ATi 5850 "!!!!! @ high resolutions or
resolutions that we should all play at.

I tryed everthing to make Dolphin take advantage of both cards
using high Antilising settings but no success.

I can run most games @ 60fps with 2.5x SsA and I5 750 cpu.
but @ 4 atilizing my fps die out @ 1600x resolutions.


Would really love to see Sli Support for my baby.

Thanks Devs.

Actually at high resolutions dual 8800GTS can outperform a GTX 460 by up to 1/3 if sli is being used properly.

Yes at 1920x1080 resolutions wich is what I play on my 50 Lcd 1080p . dual 8800gts or 9800ts or a single 9800gx2 is faster than a 460gtx and as fast as a 300 dollar AT 5850 ..even with max anilising.

I posted an add to sell my 8800gt slis for 140 and I took it down today bc its an awfull move to make.

In other words I have a ati 5850 videocard

Dolphin isn't very gpu-intensive, it's the cpu that's bottlenecking it, even though it's AA that's killing fps in your case. SLI/Crossfire support won't happen simply because most recent med-end cards are already overkill.

8800GT itself is good enough without AA...

Lol, my video card can't handle 9X AA :p. (I'm still wondering why).
New computer, I'm back!

Because your using SSAA. So your basically rendering at 9 times the resolution then downscaling to your screen resolution. So let's say your running a game at 1920 x 1080. Each frame is 2 mp (megapixels) in resolution. Let's say your gpu is capable of rendering 180 mp per second. That means you can render 90 fps at this resolution (180 mp/s / 2mp per frame = 90 fps). Now add 9xSSAA (triple width, triple height, 3x3=9x). Each frame is now 9 times the resolution since you've tripled the width and height, 18mp. So once again let's do the math (180 mp/s / 18mp per frame = 10 fps). Your down from 90 fps to 10 fps. So as you can see you need a VERY powerful gpu to handle that without any slowdowns.
