No, without crossfire you get 5850 performance and it doesn't clock as well. If it is anything like a 4870x2 a slightly higher fps (like 10 or so) doesn't feel higher due to the dips that you see. What happens when you see negative scaling like I saw on occasion with my x2? I am just not a big crossfire or sli fan. Nowhere near as reliable as a single gpu in my experience.

Keep in mind I'm talking at 1920x1200 here.
