Next, we moved on to some Hybrid SLI testing with 3DMark06 and Crysis. As we've mentioned, when coupled with a GeForce 8500 GT or 8400 GS, the GeForce 9300 can utilize NVIDIA's GeForce Boost technology, for increased 3D performance. We tested the GeForce 9300 GT with 3DMark06 and Crysis using the built-in IGP, with a GeForce 8500 GT, and with the IGP and 8500 GT working in tandem in GeForce Boost mode.

Doubling Up On The GPUs

As you can see, when using Hybrid SLI with the GeForce 9300 / 8500 GT combination working in tandem in GeForce Boost mode, the platform offers significantly better 3D performance. We saw increases of 69% and 87% in Crysis and 3DMark06, respectively, when running in GeForce Boost mode.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
