The new graphics solution behaves in the same way in the second test, too, but unlike in the first one, it has a smaller advantage over the Radeon X1800 XT CrossFire in the extreme antialiasing modes, no more than 20%.

In the third test, which uses the longest and most complex shaders in 3DMark05, the Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire is 10% ahead of the Radeon X1800 XT CrossFire from the very beginning. The gap is never bigger than 30% in this test, though.

So, the overall score of the new graphics subsystem seems well deserved considering that 3DMark05 runs in 1024x768 without FSAA by default and both the CrossFire versions are limited by the CPU performance in this case even in the third and hardest test.
