CrossFire/SLI Benchmarks
We chose Aliens vs. Predator as a showcase for CrossFire and SLI performance because the average frame rates scaled closely to the aggregate average performance we saw in our CrossFire vs SLI scaling analysis article. The dual-card performance doesn't provide any surprises, although we do see the low minimum frame rates with CrossFire that we experienced in the scaling analysis article.

SteelCity1981 Yeah I agree. I don't get AMD's marketing on the 6000 series. One would think that the 6870 would obv performan better then the 5870 at first glance but instead it yelds less performance then the 5870. That just doesn't make any sense from a consumor standpoint.Reply -
TheRockMonsi I like where AMD is going with the 6000 series, not so much with naming, but pretty much everything else about it. Can't wait for the 6900's, those are going to be beasts!!!!!Reply -
Poisoner I think AMD did a great job with these cards. Its just sick at what performance you can get for 200 bucks.Reply -
duk3 Nice benchmark suite!Reply
I am looking forward to the 6900 series and 22nm gpus later on for some real performance improvements. -
takeapieandrun Not exactly powerhouses, but I do believe they will be great for market competition.Reply -
