8800 GT SLI vs. HD 3870 Crossfire
From the article....
Final thoughts
From the test result we can notice in more than 90% items, Crossfire scale more better than SLI. In 60% test items CrossFire scale up more than 50% performance compare to single card. But in only 40% items SLI can scale up to 50%.
More surprisingly, in 30% items there?s more than 80% scale in Crossfire. But we can hardly find a 70% scale in SLI solutions. In one word to sum this up: ATi?s Crossfire is more efficiency than SLI.
It is known that HD 3870 is not powerful compare to 8800GT. and because 3870 and 8800GT are at the same price, so a single 3870 have no advantage compare to 8800GT. But Crossfire, this funtion somehow add more value to the product. Also there are lot?s of middle and high end mobo (P965, P35, X38? and AMD?s own mobo) supports Crossfire, But only NV?s chipset supports SLI so in multicard solution AMD already got enough firepower to fight with NV.
HD 3870 CrossFire or 8800GT SLI? This is a hard choice. How you choose? please leave your opinion in the comments.
