Debunking the "PhII sucks at Crossfire/Trifire" myth

[keithlm]

it doesn't surprise me i bet the AMD chipset just runs the cards better. probably all implementation of the PCI-e lanes and TBH intel boards suck at that

True... but these results completely contradict a common theory that is accepted by a lot of people in many forums.

In many forums people will say things similar to the following: "The PhII is better in many games at playable settings if you are going to use a single card... but everyone knows the i7 is always better if you plan to use multiple cards."

But in reality the data contradicts that theory.
