What's going on with Crossfire??

It wasn't

Depends on the game, some I get so close to double performance as it doesn't matter i.e. 96% gains, but on average I find SLI gives about 70% gains which is still pretty good...

with same settings using SLI I'm only getting the same FPS give or take a few fractions with a 7950GX2... so I guess your score is around the right area.

i'm getting 90%+ scaling @ 1920x1200 with my 3870's in a lot of titles, you get less as your resolution decreases.

ppl love to speculate on things they've never used before, but speak like it's gospel.

Given your spec, I'm gonna say it's the drivers. You need to get the 7.12's on ASAP

i've used crossfire with a 1600xt + 16500pro also 2x 2600xt.. yes i agree some games it does give a big boost e.g in Medal of Honor Airborne. but one problem i found was if the game in crossfire it takes ati 2 or 3 months to add it to the driver...

i wasn't singling you out, just ppl in general who mouth off about multi gpu setups and have never used them.

this is my first time with crossfire so i guess i'm lucky in that the 3870's have had good results from the start and the 7.12's have improved on this even more - but i have used SLI before and i also had good results with that too.

there not that good better of spending the money on a higher end card, there is
so much performance in cheap cards these,s days we have never had it so good when it comes to graphic cards.
I personally wish I had bought a single higher end card than the 2 I have.
These cards are going in my daughters pc I.ll get a new one.
