Sapphire Pure Crossfire A9RD480 There was something we meant to say .. but we forgot
(Review by MS, Dec 22 2005)

Driver issues and optimizations aside, 3DMark'05 is still a valid graphics benchmark, we ran the gamut of graphics configurations in default mode and with 4xAA 4xAF enabled at 1024 x 768, 1280 x 1024 and 1600 x 1200. Again, the results for a single X850GT (yellow traces) were identical within the margins of error regardless of whether the benchmark was run on the Crossfire or the SLI platform.

The yellow lines represent the single RADEON X850XT performance on the DFI and and the Sapphire board, respectively. The numbers are a fraction of a percent apart and only one trace is shown to represent both datasets.
