| HD4670 Crossfire-X up to 63% performance efficiency Zolkorn, a famous overclocker, has been testing the HD4670 in dual and triple CF configuration. Using three 3D benchmarks, we see a very decent performance scaling of the 4670 when adding a third card to your CF platform, having a performance efficiency of 63%. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...25#post3428325 |

| I don't play 3DMark a lot, how does it do in games

| No idea, but this kind of increase in performance is very rare, even in 3Dmark applications :-) |

| That Vantage scaling is simply unbelievable Performance scaling over single card: Crossfire link-up efficiency: Understand this graph as follows: if a single card performs at 100%, how does two cards each perform in comparison to a single card. 100% means that the two cards each perform as good as one card, resulting in a score that is twice as high. If a dual card solution has a rating of 50%; it means that Single or CF has no effect on the score; in tri-cf config 33% means no effect. |

| Wow, amazing numbers . But do two HD4670's bring more bang for the bucks ? |

| 3DMark Vantage is the latest 3D benchmark of Futuremark, which gives you a good indication of how videocards perform in the latest 3D games, because these are fully GPU limited. Looking at the 183/304% increase over single card, I'd say both dual and triple CF are worth it :-) |
