HD 5870 - multi-card performance scaling

I love this graph... that is so much power:

Indeed, FarCry 2 has one of the most extraordinary graphic engines I have ever seen. The scaling is almost unbelieavable, and only when the 4th 5870 is put in the scaling is not that good anymore. I realy love Dunia, only a few engines can match this kind of optimisation.

hey monstru, did you by chance get your single card 2x & 4x numbers mixed up in that graph i posted? :P

Oh s**t!!!! Yes, in Far Cry 2, in the 2560x1600 graph.

I appologies for that, the graph is now updated.

Hrm... those results seem very sub par, seems you hit the cpu wall before you hit the gfx wall, as the 5850 xfire is hitting sli 285gtx pretty consistently, and the 5870 xfire isn't pulling out that much farther ahead..scaling wise.. wierd because as single cards they consistently beat the 285 by predictable margins.

Finally :)

When will you reviewers ever learn to take the framecap of the Call of Duty games?

Edit: Here you go

Open console
Typ /com_maxfps 0 <enter>
Close console

Is possible to flash 5870 to 5850? (I would need the second one for 5850 CF review).

See the paragraph I put below the charts. Plus, with this card it didn't matter much other than at the 1680 x 1050 0xAA setting.

Has Anyone tryed connecting 5850 and 5870?

Nevermind- got it working:) My stupidity...
