X1600XT CF benchmarks??

[Mazgazine1]

Hey I have a friend that just went through a massive upgrade (though I'm surprised he did it so close to Conroe coming out, buutt thats just me )..

Nothing strange about the system except he went with two X1600XT in Crossfire.. I was like "WAAAHH??", mind you the price was definitely right ($160cnd per card)..

Then I am asked him about performance, and he said it was equal to an X1900XT, and thats why he got it.. Hell if its that good, $320 cards vs $600 card, yeah thats worth it.

But, I can't find any benchmarks for X1600XT's being crossfired...... The only bencmark I can find is on tomshardware but it shows the damn things getting like 10 fps in FEAR at 1024x768 which makes no sense...

I googled, and all I could find was the single cards.. Or crossfired X1900/X1800..

I'd like to see some benches becuase I would definitely consider this an alternative to my orignial upgrading plans.

I have only one 3DMark05 score from a user with X1600 XTs in Cross Fire:

User----------Score--Card--------------OC----------Driver--CPU Score---CPU----------CPU Speed---Memory Amount & Speed
HisSvt76----7,982---X1600 XT CF--650/801---5.13----4,396-----------PD 820@---3,217-----------2gb 533

You could try sending a PM to HisSvt76 and ask him/her for some game benchmarks.

thanks for the reply. 3Dmark score will make it easy to give a comparison. (Even though its 'synthetic' its still a good way of figuring it out).

The CPU might cause a differents in power, but I dont' think much. He has a 930D (3.0ghz) OC'ed to 3.75ghz.

I use to have a X1600XT Crossfire setup (before I got my single X1900XTX)


X1600XT in CF is equal to a single X1800XL...possibly a X1800XT.

I was getting anywhere between 3500-4000 scores in 3Dmark06 depending on my settings and overclocks/tempuratures.

Scores around 3700 are what I've seen as the general average for a X1600XT CF setup.
