ATI HD4870 & HD4850 Crossfire Performance Review

Crysis DX10



1280 X 1024





1600 X 1200





1920 X 1080




Here we see basically the same thing happen as with Crysis DX9 where the Crossfired ATI cards are able to make up some lost ground when AA is turned on but in all reality their performance is once again on the erratic side. Minimum framerates are a bit disappointing throughout but there is a bright glimmer of hope at the highest resolution with AA turned on where the average FPS stays above 30 for every combination of ATI cards. All in all it seems like ATI's driver team has a ways to go with optimizing their cards for this game.
