Splinter Cell Chaos Theory is a case where the game engine is so GPU shader-processing bound that we don't see any real advantage for the A8N32 SLI Deluxe and the nForce 4 SLI X16 chipset over legacy nForce4 SLI-based boards.  However, let's not forget the scenario Nick Stam from NVIDIA described with SLI-AA enabled.  We'll have a look at that shortly, but let's get a baseline on that topic first with some standard FarCry testing.
