3DMark06 & 3DMark Vantage
3DMark06 & 3DMark Vantage
Part 1: Introduction & Test Platform
Part 2: 3DMark 06 & Vantage
Part 3: NFS12 & FarCry2
Part 4: Crysis Warhead & CoH
Part 5: LP, WiC & Bioshock
Part 6: Power Consumption & Summary

The demand for bandwidth is extremely high @ 2560x1600 4xAA 16xAF.
Scaling in the case of GTX 280 is approximately 1.72 in SLI & a less than ideal 2.03 in 3-way SLI mode.
On the other hand, HD4870X2 scales merely at 1.43, but good enough to beat the three GTX280s.

Vantage, focuses more on the shading power of the graphics core & is less affected by bandwidth & texture capabilities.
This time round, the Green cards take the lead on the scoreboard, with the Reds closing in behind. The scaling is much better this time round, SLIx2: 1.9, SLIx3: 2.71, CFx4: 1.66.
