Despite the better memory performance on both Strikers, both of the ‘designed by Nvidia’ boards churn out marginally better FPS in both SLI and single card. PCI-Express 2.0 versus 1.1 again makes zero difference as do the "optimisations" the nF200 is apparently meant to offer (despite our limited cross section of games) but, generally speaking, you'd be hard pushed to notice any difference between the four boards.

Only in World in Conflict with SLI enabled are we seeing a clear two frames per second lead by the Strikers! Between the two though there's very little difference on average and the minimum and single card results are pretty even across the range of boards.
