I agree that using two cards in SLi would be amasing, however I don't have the money for something like that at the moment. Definitely something to work towards ;) Dave Hey Min,

Thanks for the great comment! I agree that using two cards in SLi would be amasing, however I don’t have the money for something like that at the moment. Definitely something to work towards ;)

Pretty close to what I am doing as well. You mentioned you will be using CUDA SDK in your project. I am wondering if you will also consider the power of multi GPU Scalable Link Interface in post processing the effects you want? It would be interesting to do all the necessary processing and vertex calculations completely on the GPU, leaving the CPU free to handle other functions such as user input etc. Also, it will be an interesting exercise to find out if GPUs configured in SLi really has the advantage of single multi cored GPUs in terms of raw processing power and output. I had a read at the "A Practical Analytic Model for Daylight" paper by Preetham and most of my ideas/suggestion seems already covered there so I'm afraid I don't much left to say. An interesting topic and I wish you all the best! Interesting topic! Pretty close to what I am doing as well.
