Benchmark Results
3DMark05
In 3DMark we tested at all resolutions with antialiasing and anisotropic filtering disabled in the first run. The second time around we increased the image quality with 4xAA and 8xAF. The 10 year anniversary $10,000 Falcon Northwest Mach V posted 16,544 marks in the default test, while the CrossFire ABS came in with over 3,000 more marks at 19,879. The iBuypower Dream 2006 Quad System posted 14,199 or 2,300 marks behind the $10,000 PC. The highly overclocked system clearly has more headroom, but at stock speeds you can see it still is powerful.
