3DMark05

3DMark05 bears out most of what we've seen already. The Radeon X1800 XT CrossFire system is typically faster than a pair of GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB cards in SLI but slower than dual 7800 GTX 512s. The X1800 XL in CrossFire, meanwhile, tends to trail the GeForce 7800 GTs in SLI.

The X1800 CrossFire systems fare relatively poorly in the first game test, particularly at 2048x1536.
