Unfortunately, inadequate software optimizations do not allow the 3-way CrossFireX system show a competitive result.

Tomb Raider: Legend

Both systems suffer a performance hit relative to the corresponding single graphics cards. However, the Zotac GeForce 9800 GX2 is somewhat better. Although it is slower than the single GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB, it still allows playing with enabled FSAA at every resolution, save for 2560x1600.
