That's almost unbelievable! Why an earth anybody has ever tell us about this!?
Tried to google and found nothing about it. It looks like Ati's AFR (announced in cat 7.10) rendering is working. Am I right that AFR doesn't need game to support multi GPU to perform in crossfire? I think this could be an example.
i made few tests ( in my signature)
nice find !! great results !!

He posted another picture, +73%. http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/show...postcount=1277 :up:
Wow, that's a decent performance boost from CF....time I got me an x38 board me thinks!
(which is best :P)
lol these cf test are fake
look what tech power up forum guy say
http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=45823
he says that cf doesnt work in crysis
Bit-tech review also doesn't show any improvements in fps with cf in crysis (with X38 motherboard), and with hot fix installed any everything.

For ati:
32bit XP = Good
32bit XP & Crossfire = Very good
Vista & DX9 = bad
Vista & DX10 = very bad
Vista 64bit & DX10 = very, very bad
I've tested CF in Crysis both for XP x64 and Vista x32!
XP x64 and final Cat 7.11 - CF a bit slower than single card, but no image corruption
Vista x32 and HotFix driver - CF much faster, but image corrupted BIG TIME!
I'm waiting for a Crysis Patch + new Drivers :)
any more tests with Vista DX10? :D
As a consumer, does it really matter that whether this game is TWIMTBP so Nvidia has an edge in this game ? or which products offers the best performance/price on a wide ranges of games ? for a fan boy though TWIMTBP matters cause Nvidia is cheating because their developer relation team is doing their jobs.
...which is a farce though. Not seldomly i " :ROTF: :clap: " when most if not all problems in tech support threads of certain games that are "TWIMTBP", was from frustrated players with nVidia cards none from ATI's.
Typical ATI problem was the bad (or lack of) OpenGL support, supposedly fixed since Cat 7.1 (?) or so.
That reminds me: gonna check today if that's true!
EDIT: yes it is!
I recall reading that in the bit-tech review
Read the article here link
AMD has been buddy-buddy with Crytek for quite a long time, before FarCry days. While ATi wasn't sending anywhere close to the time and money Nvidia was giving to Crytek, they definitely did help A LOT with the engine and technologies needed to create it. I have seen two or three .pdfs in the past year - year and a half with both Crytek and ATi on them.
