AMD Radeon HD 5970 2GB CrossFire Reviews

• DriverHeaven: Sapphire 5970 Cfx and HIS 5970 CFx Review:
  
  

  "In regards to running 5970's in Crossfire x, the word 'overkill' immediately springs to mind - there really is absolutely no need for it right now, unless you need to play Crysis Warhead at Enthusiast settings on your 30 inch screen at the native resolution. This is the first time we have seen this title running like butter and it shows just how poorly put together the game was when it was released. Sure, its pretty, but it shouldn't need a dual 5970 configuration to run well with the eye candy maxed, even at 2560x1600.
  
  All other games we tested ran silky smooth and no matter what you throw at these boards they never fail to deliver ... we could wax lyrical all day but you have seen for yourselves in this review just how powerful ATI's top end graphics solution really is."

• TweakTown: ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB in CrossFireX‏:
  
  

  "If you want a fast setup, you buy a HD 5870. If you want a really fast setup you buy a HD 5970. If you want more performance than you can point a 30" monitor at, you get a pair of HD 5970s. And while some might say “what's the point? The numbers are so high already with a single card, why bother with a second card?”, you can respond with a simple "Because I can!"
  
  If they're looking for a bit more of an explanation, though, you can simply say that you're preparing for some future EyeFinity gaming with three 1920 x 1200 screens which pushes out 2,816,000 pixels more than a single 2560 x 1600 screen. Of course, we just need ATI to hook us up with drivers that let us use CF technology with EyeFinity."
