How could i know, i dont run such benchmarks.
So you admit those results are done with a single card much sower card then a GTX280, splendid, so you longer have no proof of anything

What ever traffic the CPU will send over the bus will be the same for one card as for 3 ... this is typical in broadcast networks where each bus agent is sent the same data. Also, if FSB BW is so critical, why does not cutting it in half have closer to 50% impact? You did not answer that question.

Texture data is stored on card, and the only time bus transfers are used is when the texture required is not cached on the card. This is why memory keeps going up on video cards. When a texture is required for a new scene or object that is not in memory you will know -- that game stutters horribly (FSB, HT or even QPI) there is no bus currently available that matches the BW of VRAM to GPU...

Have you read what i typed? I know damn well what that links contains. The broadcast feature helps reduce cpu-gpu communication over the FSB. Why do you think Nvidia has invented that feature? Because the FSB is a perfect something? Because the FSB is perfect for mutli-gpu scaling and is far from saturated?

Great minds think alike?
no really, you always seems so intelligent, but right now, you are misenterpreting everything i type, i dont know if you do this on porpuse, but hey, like i care
you still havent proved your point and still havent contradicted my point
