Crossfire Testing

Just to verify Crossfire worked more than anything, we tested three games on the P5WD2-E Premium using ATI Crossfire, using X1800 XT master and slave. Tested resolution at all times was 1920x1200.

Quake 4


Crossfire enables 20% extra performance in the Doom 3-engined title.

Far Cry


Far Cry sees a 50% performance boost in Crossfire mode at 1920x1200.

Splinter Cell: CT


Splinter Cell almost experiences double the performance from Crossfire mode. The mainboard was a willing host throughout our Crossfire testing, at multiple resolutions across multiple games.
