Unreal Tournament 3 here seems to hit a point where it's limited by the CPU or simply a wall in graphical prowess but again the 4870X2 is the clear winner and yet again topping two 4870 cards in Crossfire.
World in Conflict is a crippling game on systems as even our 4870X2 only obtained 29fps with everything maxed out at the highest resolution. Nvidia seems to do slightly better here as well.
Company of Heroes was the first retail game with a DirectX10 patch and that is what we tested here. This is yet another game that shows the benefit of 2GB of GDDR5. If you are considering two 4870s, a 4870X2 definitely seems to be the preferable solution and not only that it takes up only one slot.
We finish off with some 3DMark 2006 scores which doesn't say a whole lot about real game performance but since almost everyone loves it, here it is. :)
