Very quick 3 x HD5870 benchmark

[CAUTION]

Great setup Monstru and I can't wait for your next run at 3D06.

.p4nzer - with 3 and 4 cards I have a weird GT1 bug (like I had here). Anyway, I am working like crazy, I hope to publish tomorrow or in 2 days, there are tons of interesting findings and I have to analyse a lot. Weird stuff happen when you put 3 and 4 cards in a set-up. You see all sorts of behaviour, like FarCry2 perfectly scaling while Crysis is just dull, and the freakiest thing - 3 x 5870 on P55 havinf the same performance as 3 x 5870 on X58...Now this is something to sleep on.

WOW

nice man

[Monstru]

Thx man!

That "p55 has the same performance" works only in 3DMark....Mr FarCry 2 does not agree. I will investigate more

Uuuuuf, finnaly managed to publish the article.

Here you go gents, HD5870 vs 2 x HD5870 vs 3 x HD 5870 (P55) vs HD5870 vs 2 x HD 5870 vs 3 x H 5870 vs 4 x HD 5870 (X58).

farcry 2 2x/4x aa 2560x1600 numbers look odd?

Thank you for the heads up, it is the other way around (when I did the graphs I used the 2x data for 4x and 4x data for 2x). The graph is updated now.
