Performance in Gaming Benchmarks: Simulators

CrossFire technology, at least in its top-end incarnation, is less dependent on the PCI Express bandwidth than Nvidia?s SLI is, but the CrossFire Xpress 3200 makes the Radeon X1900 XT CrossFire run this game faster than on the RD480 chipset. We saw no difference between the nForce4 SLI and nForce4 SLI X16 chipset in this test, by the way.
