    corssfire scales much much better than then sli. i can beat any single card and most dual cards for my crappy specs.(the asus should blow me any but we are waiting to see what happens.) we just need drivers to fully max out and the cards which we are very close to. we also need drivers to stablize the cards which we are from.(fps drops and increases at any changes to the screen.)

    How are your specs crappy? 3.2ghz quad, 2x3870s 4gbs ram etc. Looks pretty kickass to me!

    what i meant by crappy is the gpu specs. the 3870 has 320 stream cpu(equals to 64 nvidia stream cpu's) if you were to compare one of my cards to a nvidia card it would be between a 9800m gs and a 9800m gts. but when it is crossfired, i get performance beyond a 9800m gtx single(alittle more maybe 25%) depending on the game, driver, and optimization that i use.


    that's all. i was comparing crossfire to sli. and single cards from ati and nvidia.
    edit: look below my farcry2 benchmark single and crossfired. of course one is with my old t9400 stock and the new one is the quad overclock, but do you get what i mean now?
