They stated they used latest drivers which is why the review was held back by AMD.

We are using the latest drivers for both video cards, for the 8800 GTX that is 169.28 beta driver, and for the 3870 X2 it is an ATI Catalyst provided driver with the latest Crysis performance fixes for CrossFire.


When we started our evaluation had an earlier build of a driver for the 3870 X2 that allowed CrossFire in Crysis. However, our experiences with that driver in Crysis left a lot to be desired. We experienced very inconsistent performance; it was as if the second GPU on the 3870 X2 wasn’t doing much. During our evaluation ATI made a “breakthrough” in their drivers with patch 1.1 that resulted in much higher performance on the 3870 X2 in Crysis. We then went back and re-tested Crysis with this new driver that they provided to us and indeed we can give a thumbs up on this driver. We experienced much more consistent performance throughout Crysis, which resulted in smooth gameplay.
From we can see X2 is around GTX level which is fine to be honest.
