Graphics Cards

CrossFire X benchmarks - RV670 times four

What kind of speed would a Core 2 QX9770 @ 4.2GHz and two HD3870X2 cards provide? One worth as gaming machine, and then some.

The quad CrossFire driver peeped out of it's hole and my colleagues at FPSLabs grabbed it for a quick test, to check if it's worth spending 800eur in graphics subsystem.

The driver is working well in FEAR and a bit worse in Call of Juarez, providing a 77% and 50% increase over one card, respectively. 3DMark2006 is worse at 15%, but that was already a little CPU bound with two RV670's, let alone four.
More results would be welcomed but that will have to wait. For now AMD/ATI looks poised to regain the performance crown while Nvidia doesn't strike back with the 9800GX2.
March will be quite the month.
