System Specs

9800GTX SLI Vs GTX 460 SLI

Guys,

Have a question.

I have a Dual 9800 GTX SLI setup on my main rig.



I have a Dual GTX460 on my second rig.



The thing that surprises me is the Windows Experience Index I see in the two rigs.

Windows Experience Index on GTX460 rig




Windows Experience Index on 9800GTX rig




The GTX 460 system gets a Gaming Graphics rating of 7.3 and the 9800 GTX system gets a 7.5 when I ran the assessment with SLI enabled on both of them.

Is it solely because of the bus width difference? The newer 460 has more shaders, more and faster dedicated frame buffer GDDR5 and supports shader model5 and DX11 and I hoped it would score more.

I intend to play BF3. Which combination would be the best and most importantly Why? I have a 9800 GT on both rigs as a dedicated Physx card.

Thnx,
Regards,
Shiv
