I've read 3dmark06 of 16.660 vs. 12267 at 1280x1024
and 11.054 vs.7.360 at 2.560x1.600

Best crossfire beating best SLI, and for Prey an company of heroes better for ATI as hugher is the resolution.

But perhaps we would need 120 Hz at 2560x1600 monitors, and a 1080p@120Hz test for this cards, becouse is the bes we can find with a good price.

1- 3d mark scores mean jack

2- I havnt seen any offical gaming benchmarks on any site so cant comment on which is better (though im pretty sure the 8800gtx would be better overall)

follow the link Prey and company of heroes were benchmarked.

But What I want are other tests for knowing, I have read this, but I want to read more and know Tom's hardware, anadtech, and other benchmarking betwwen this two sets.

I do not say that this PCMAg bench is the bible.

I have had ATI and Nvidia cards, and with windows ATI worked better for me, and for Linux Nvidia did.

I only want to know wich is better, just for knowing.

My only problem is the inconsistency of the hardware in the system.The title says its the 2900XT, but if you follow the benchmark link it says 2900XTX under the graphics chipset (which don't exist to the best of my knowledge). So which did they actually use? Or am I missing something here?

2x 2900xt's are better on VISTA better than 2x GTX because the crossfire drivers on vista are better than the SLI drivers.

There is already a thread running with over 6000 views and 75 responses on this very topic. I'd link to it but what is the point since it is on the same page as this thread.

I apologize for adding to the thread just to say that but seriously, please just look down the page before starting a new thread.

I think price / preformance a crossfire 2x2900xt is better solution (except for Linux) than a sigle and much more SLI 8800.
