no it doesn'tchart speaks for itself
The results are useful for testing CrossFire/SLi scaling in Gaming Evolved games which are 2-3 years old. It's useless data for anyone playing games released in 2015 and/or GameWorks games... Which is probably everyone buying multiple Fury X's or 980 Ti's. Witcher 3? GTA V? It's not even a GameWorks game, why isn't that in their bench?All of those games run extremely well on Nvidia hardware. Remember AMD doesn't have a GameWorks black box requirement for Gaming Evolved games. So there is nothing holding it back from working well on Nvidia's hardware, and they have extremely nice frame rates when played.
Did you take the time to look at these reviews before you make such ridiculous statements?
The first one in Korean, is just an aggregate score of accumulated frame rates. There is no detail there and does not provide an accurate representation of performance.
Its cool but he needs to go into more detail to really make his review worthwhile.
How are we supposed to take this seriously? I mean, it doesn't even mention what the buckets setting was for these tests.
It was 11.
Ooh look, Tainted shitting on AMD.
/shock
It looks like both the Korean source and WCCF are burying their test suite as neither article mentions it. You have to go all the way back to the original benchmarks just to find the games they used -- lo and behold -- it's chock full of Gaming Evolved games. /shockOoh look, Tainted shitting on AMD.

Amd multi gpu scaling has crushed sli since they started using XDMA
Yeah it's that Korean site that tested with 9 out of 12 AMD Gaming Evolved games.
We talked about this before.
I believe my comment at the time was, and still remains, do you think we are stupid?
And when Brent uses more gamesdontwork titles you do not complain and whine gtfoh.

Throw those results in the garbage, start over.

This is nothing surprising, the 980Ti still wins in over all performance but its nice that you get a bit more performance for your buck when you crossfire AMD cards.
With that said the bridge idea has been outdated for a while. Its not seriously behind so I don't fault Nvidia for not using the PCIe lanes like AMD does but they should really consider ditching the bridge with Pascal.
Doesn't matter, as long as the crossfire profile works with the game you should see similar scaling with newer games. Remember these graphs aren't showing overall performance, it is performance gained when adding the second card. AMD's solution is more efficient, but not astronomical or enough to take the performance crown.
Personally I'm surprised Nvidia hasn't ditched the bridge yet.
Actually, wouldn't it make sense to use whatever games are most popular regardless of which GPU its biased towards? Isn't the point of a benchmark to see which GPU is going to give you better performance in the games you want to play? How many people play Dirt 3? Why do I still see Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite all the time in new benchmarks? 4 way SLI??? 4 way Crossfire??? Look up 4k gaming on YouTube and look at people running 4 Titans, massive stutter. If you are doing multiple Titans for other resolutions... Does it really fricken matter if one card has 276 FPS and the other card has 269 FPS?
I doubt Nvidia will ditch the SLI bridge though, isn't NVLink going to be pretty much the replacement for that?
Problem with crossfire scaling is yes it's great in average fps, and will be great in DX12 as it is in Mantle. But in DX11 the minimum fps is currently affected by the high overhead driver so those graphs are deceptive and don't represent true performance. This is also why Freesync isn't really relevant yet because CF performance will go below Freesync threshold quite often.
