Battlefield 2 High-End Performance

We have finally ironed out our issues with BF2 and SLI, so this time around we get to compare ATI and NVIDIA in multi GPU configurations. DICE has said in the past that results over 100 fps are not always reliable. It will suffice to say that CrossFire leads SLI at the low two resolutions. Putting a finer point on it goes against what we know of the benchmark's behavior. Interestingly, at higher resolutions (above 1600x1200), while the 7900 GTX and 7900 GT fall further behind ATI's single card solutions, SLI is able to take the lead from CrossFire. This would seem to indicate that SLI has a bit more of a CPU limitation at the low end than CrossFire, but that it is ultimately much more efficient in BF2.

I think the 7900GTX vs 7800 GTX512 graph is also missing

graph by DerekWilson, 1352 days ago
Do you mean 7900 GT vs. 7800 GTX? We didn't do a seperated 7800 GTX 512 vs. 7900 GTX comparison.

Chat might be backwards by Rogue 2, 1353 days ago
On "The Competition" page, they're showing the 7600GT w/ 256 bit memory bus, and the 6800GS w/ 128 bit memory bus. Isn't it exactly the opposite?

Man Crossfire by classy, 1353 days ago
I never really noticed how bad Crossfire sucks. While a 1900 xtx is about as faster and in many cases faster than 7900, when put in Crossfire vs SLI it just blows.

One of the reasons I just picked up 2 7900GTX boards. That, and I've been hearing of more and more problems with Crossfire.

X1900 XTX Pricing Flaw In Review by 5150Joker, 1353 days ago
You mention the X1900 XTX costs $580-$650 yet you can find it at a popular e-tailer like Newegg for as low as $509 for an OEM XTXand $531.99 for a retail XTX (MIR)
