Geforce GTX 280 & Radeon HD 4870 X2 Anti-Aliasing Scaling Performance

Fri 2008-09-05 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

MadShrimps has posted an interesting article in which they test the anti-aliasing scaling performance of the Geforce GTX 280 and Radeon HD 4870 X2 under Windows XP and Vista.

Here’s an excerpt:

“Performance Scaling XP to Vista

On average with the Geforce GTX 280 you lose -1.6% by switching to Vista 64-bit, so in short: same performance and no loss!

The Radeon HD 4870 X2 does even better, if we leave out the numbers of Stalker and Tomb Raider (as Crossfire failed to run properly under XP) we see a +5.8% boost in average FPS going from XP to Vista. If we add the two game titles and let them enjoy CF-scaling the number jumps up to +27.7%!”

Those considering either of these two high-end models should definitely read this article first.
