    Just got a R-2 with 4870 in crossfire just ran proformance test on highest settings got a average FPS of 37.93. Can anyone with a 280 sli or 5870 crosfire set up run the test also. Just looking to compare proformance of the video cards on this game.

    Did you do it on Ultra

    I have a 4gb mem , I-7 820 , 4870x2. I got 37 average , 106 high and min 7.80.

    Wonder why my score is so low in comparison .

    If you want I can run the test on my single 5870 which will give a general idea of how the crossfire will run, I'm running the same cpu as you are so maybe a pretty close idea. I could even run it OC'd to make it a little closer to what you would get with a crossfire rig. Let me know if you want me to do it and I will when I get home.

    Just did one more run with no gpu OC, and my CPU OC'd from 1.73Ghz to 1.9Ghz, here's the results:

    Ave-54.16 Max-118.76 Min-19.9

    Now I'm not an expert but based on the results I got that makes me think this game may be a bit more CPU dependant than some games. The game supports multithreaded cpu's so it's not a game that benefits from the "high clocked 1-2 threads" scenario. That makes me think that there is a possibility of this being cpu related. I have an idea to compare cpu results if your up for it. PM me if you want to try it.
