Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

CrossFire doesn’t work right here. The Radeon HD 3870 X2 is terribly slow even in comparison with the single Radeon HD 3870. Hopefully, this is not a fundamental problem related to the specifics of the game engine with its rendering techniques. If so, it is likely to be solved in the next version of the Catalyst driver.

Tomb Raider: Legend

Everything we said about Lost Planet is true here, too. We hope ATI’s programmers are already working on the driver.
