Performance in Third Person 3D Shooters

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Here we can see that both dual-graphics-card solutions demonstrate performance improvement compared with what a single graphics card would do. The improvement is not very significant for ATI CrossFire as well as for NVIDIA SLI: no higher than 17%-20% in 1600x1200.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

In Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory , on the contrary, both technologies prove very efficient. In high resolutions with enabled full-screen antialiasing the efficiency of ATI CrossFire is approaching its theoretical maximum. And in general, the performance of the two RADEON X850 XT graphics cards with CrossFire technology is just a little lower than that of two GeForce 7800 GTX cards.
