Can SLI in a Notebook Beat Desktop Graphics?

Oh this is just hardcore. SLI notebooks are beating out desktops, eh? Impressive!

The world of mobile computing has been evolving over the past few decades. There are many variations to fit the nature of the need. Some are highly portable, with extended battery life. But while portability has been the aim of most designs, some users find power wanting.

Desktop replacement notebooks are the most powerful portable systems available, but they represent the smallest segment of the mobile computing market..We have seen the power mobile systems such as the Dell XPS M1710 and the Eurocom D900K F-Bomb offered, which could meet the performance requirements of those looking for maximum frame rates while on the road. While those two notebooks employed a single graphics processor, how well does a system with dual graphics perform? That answer comes in the form of Nvidia’s Mobile GeForce Go 7800GTX processors in SLI. We received iBuyPower’s Battalion-101 SC-650 SLI notebook for testing and the numbers show that this is no ordinary product. It is the largest notebook and by far has the most graphics firepower of all the mobile systems we have tested thus far…. Source: TH
