ATI Radeon X1950 Pro with Native CrossFire
FarCry v1.33
|
If you've been on top of the gaming scene for some time, you probably know that FarCry was one of the most visually impressive games to be released on the PC |
Our custom FarCry benchmark proved to be somewhat of a strong point for the Radeon X1950 Pro. When running in a single card configuration, the X1950 Pro outpaced the 7900 GS and GT, and just barely missed the mark set by the 7950 GT, especially at the higher resolution.
However, while running in a dual card CrossFire configuration, the new Radeon X1950 Pros scaled very well and were able to surpass the GeForce 7900 GTX and 7950 GT SLI rigs. We should note that had we run these tests with 8X anisotropic filtering instead, the NVIDIA card's would likely have fared a bit better. With 16X aniso enabled in FarCry, NVIDIA's cards take a slightly larger hit in performance than ATI's.
