Crossfire scaling, crossfire looks improved as the 6870 is weaker than a 5870 in BFBC2, but performs faster in comparison in crossfire.
As always this is also comparing launch drivers to the mature drivers of the Radeon 5 series and NV 4 series.
If Cayman is indeed 170% Barts, it will be a monster.

It seems to more or less be a '5865' I guess.
I wouldn't say overclocking is bad with a data sample of one, but that's not exactly encouraging results. I expected more, with a cooler running, smaller GPU and 5850's and 5870's gitting 1GHz with a voltage bump I would have thought this GPU would get 1GHz+. I'll wait for more reviews I guess, but less than impressive in that respect so far.
Anyway, decent card for the money, but I wouldn't call it a GTX460 slayer at $250 either.
The 6850 seems to have the 460 very firmly in its pocket.
Holy cow! Thats 93% scaling right there.

For a moment there, I was wondering why your OS was in dutch.
Look at Dirt 2 and Far Cry 2 scaling...AMD usually is poor in FC2.
Now I want to see the 6970 CF and 6990 results :awe:

I would like to see minimum framrates also.
what do you guys think, would you upgrade from 4870x2 to 6870?
