Company of Heroes...x-fire scaling?

[bob4432]

anybody have an idea of how company of heroes scales w/ crossfire? i have a single 4850, but tonight on a large map w/ a lot of action @ 1920x1200 and high details, it was just too much for the 4850 - went into single digit fps. i have a different machine that is crossfire capable but am wondering if i should swap machines or wait until the 5850s come down in price....

Looks like it's about ~40% at 1920x1200

and looking foward to your review. the in game "performance test" shows me decent, but playing a large map w/ ~100soldiers/infantry etc fighting. man, the upgrade dilema....

Cant comment on the 4850 but my 5850 is fine with coh at 1920x1080 with all settings on high. I play large 4v4's on montargis and on hochwald gap semi regularly and its fine with them. Theres always lag anways though lol, sods law if theres 8 people in a game 1 of them will be on a pentium 3 or somthing

So if you decide to go 5850 route, its fine on large maps with tons of units/stuff going on. The online performance thing says my lowest FPS for the past 3 4v4 games was in the 30-40 range.
