Crossfire or SLI

[QUOTE="musclesforcier"]

It can't run DX10 becuase its a DX9 card...of course it doesn't have a chance it won't even run them period.

Crossfire is much more efficient, being that you get more like a 70% increase, rather than SLi which you get about 30-40% increase.Luminouslight

hahahahah nice try with false info

False? How so?

you're all correct in that Crossfire scales much better than SLI.

what everyeone is failing to grasp is, in-game the FPS (which is what matters) is generally not as good as SLI. it doesnt matter if 20fps turns to 40fps, when SLI attains 50fps, beating it. im currently running tests in Crysis with a mate from another forum. will post the benches very shortly.

we are running identical quad cores @ 3.6ghz, he has HD2900 1GB crossfire on an X38 ASUS, i have GTX SLI on an XFX 680i.

will post results shortly, at work so havnt finished the data. can tell you all right now, Crossfire does not kill SLI, like all you fanboys are claiming. Crossfire benches way higher though. but if your a standard gamer, what do benches matter? or multi-gpu for that matter...just give us another day.

Different software setups and different BIOS set ups.

But it is true that the performance of a single NVIDIA card does carry its performance over to SLi, helping to keep it in the lead.

But what most are saying is that in the case of HD3870 CrossFire, it manages to outperform 8800 GT SLi in quite a few games because of CrossFire's superior scaling.

No one here is dumb enough to argue that HD3870 CF will beat 8800 GTX SLi. It's way out of reach in both specs and prices.

Btw... here I found a good review.. check it out HIS Radeon HD3870 Review & Crossfire Performance Preview
