Testing (continued):

World in Conflict (DirectX 10):

A DirectX 10 benchmark integrated with the 3D game World in Conflict was executed with a resolution of 1680x1050, and with settings on high. The benchmark provides results in terms of a minimum, maximum, and average frame rate value, and higher is better for all three.



While the Vapor-X Radeon HD5870 is by far the strongest single card solution, it can't come close to the CrossFire configured pair of HD5850 cards.

Crysis (DirectX 10):

A DirectX 10 benchmark used with the 3D game Crysis was executed with a resolution of 1680x1050, 8x Anti-Aliasing, in 64-Bit mode, and with settings on high. Results are provided in terms of a minimum, maximum, and average frame rate value, and higher is better for each.



The average frame rate value produced by the Vapor-X HD5870 is almost the same as the pair of HD5850 cards in CrossFire, and the minimum frame rate value is actually slightly better with the HD5870.
