Thats impressive! I can do that much only when cards are clocked 850+/1200+ and in standard res...
I will try to do 1680x1050 with 4xAA 16xAnisto to compare it somehow ....

I've just tried a CrossFire with HD3850 + HD 3870, here goes some 06 numbers:

HD3870 Stock: 12305 Marks
HD3850 Stock: 10720 Marks

HD3850 Stock + HD3870 Stock : 16002 Marks
HD3850 Stock + HD3870 @ 825/2600 : 16176 Marks
HD3850 @ 760/2078 + HD3870 Stock : 17023 Marks
HD3850 @ 760/2078 + HD3870 @ 830/2600 : 16995 Marks :confused:

That was using stock cooling + QX6850@3.4Ghz and Catalyst 7.11.

Games are running horrible with CrossFire, at least Crysis and HL2 Lost Coast... FEAR seems to like so much the CrossFire config, but others like HL2 EP1 and STALKER doesn't seem to gain more than 10-15% over a single HD3870.

i dunno that CF can use overdrive. nice

From that Quadfire pic it doesn't even look like those card will be sufficiently cooled! They look like they're too damn close. I hate poser pics like that.
