The Test Bed: RD480, RD580, nForce4 SLI, nForce 4 SLI X16

In order to provide an in-depth analysis and extensive comparison between the new ATI chipset, its predecessor and the competition, we picked four different Asus motherboards to represent the four products. The benchmark section includes overclocking tests with the dual x16 platforms. It also compares dual graphics scaling with mid-range graphics cards, both with and without Crossfire cable or SLI connector, as appropriate.
