Nvidia’s new SLI platform is the goods. Logan’s just back from Nvidia and has reported on the SLI 590, as well as the lesser lineups in the new 500-series. You can read about that below. We’ve got a SLI-590 motherboard and have been running benchmarks using the FX-62. It’s a mother, especially with the new quad cards Nvidia also sent us, but we aren’t allowed to talk about for another couple of weeks.

Needless to say, as always, the next gen systems just around the corner are smokin fast.

Which is all wonderful if you want to max out the detail in Rise of Legends. It’s gotta be just the most beautiful RTS ever, and it’s very cool fun to play. Dave’s done a review of that for you if you’re still undecided about it.

Have a great weekend everyone.
