Hi-Res Gaming Multi-GPU Tests (Cont.)

Next we moved on to some more high-resolution graphics benchmarking with ET:QW and Metro 2033, using the same Core i7-2600K / Asis P8P67 Deluxe based system and NVIDIA and ATI-based graphics cards.

High-Resolution Gaming: Metro 2033 and ET:QW

Taxing the Whole Rig

Once again we saw huge gains in performance moving from one to two GPUs. Both the GeForce GTX 570s and Radeon HD 6970s showed 92% performance improvements in Metro 2033, while the older, less taxing ET:QW showed improvement of 62% (Radeon HD 6970 CrossFire) and 78% (GeForce GTX 570 SLI).
