How does crossfire perform against a single card with the new 48xx series cards?
Over the last year I've had the opportunity to run a few different configurations.
E6800 @3.7 paired with (in order) 1x ATI1800XL, 2x NV8800 Ultra's, 2 xATI2900 1gig and finally a single NV8800GTX. Which I still run
My finding were that the Nvidia's had easily the most grunt when it comes to fps but the Ati's had the best IQ. In fact the only reason I ended up keeping the 8800GTX is because it out performed the 2900 in Crossfire in IL2, which is pretty much all I play. Which brings me back to the Crossfire question. I found that 2x2900 did not improve FPS over a single 2900. Benchies in IL2 would give the exact same results regardless of the configuration. Has this been addressed with the newer cards/drivers.
