HD 3870X2 in Crossfire

January 25th, 2008 by Jeff AMD, Graphics, Hardware, NEWS7 Comments

Tom’s Hardware try to run benches on HD 3870X2 Crossfire. But their Catalyst 8.452(guess it is an RC version) seems still not ready for Crossfire. Because after their benchmark the 3DMark06 score is only 16795. They even complain that Crysis can not run normal when AA/AF turned on.

AMD-ATI should focus on their drivers this time, or Catalyst will only drag back the performance of HD 3870 X2. The full article is here in Chinese.

    Hey. I tried CF of these two on the Skulltrail platform, and it doesn’t work. Do you maybe have any drivers that work?

    check out : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=5543182

    there is some CFX action forcing the 8.47rc3 driver (detects as 4x 3470s)

    Still not as good as I was hopeing, but decent nonetheless
