Microstuttering tests on ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2

[L7R]

Kinda off topic, but any explanation on why your CF / X2 scaling in GRID is so much 'different' than what AnandTech preview shows?

It seems they got close to 100% scaling with X2 compared to single. True the res they used was higher but I don't think this is just a matter of CPU bottlenecking. Your test shows only what, 10% scaling?

I bet thats because using different motherboards. I have had many differences in crossfire scaling between different boards. I have seen Gigabyte boards gives most coherent results between different games. MSI and asus may be great on some game but not so consistent between different games.

One intresting thing what you find in some gigabyte mobos is extra molex socket in pcb just for crossfire use! I was little surprised and wondering what the heck is that for.
