...it is strange but for the NVIDIA-side, they are correct. EDIT: W1zzard, I hope that you'll update it very soon...there many people I know that are having a bad idea of 6850 & 6870 crossfire, simply reading the result summary.

SO HTC, you've done for the 6870 the same thing i've done for the 6850 :D Good! So we can say that the scaling summary for both reviews are wrong :/

oh yes, that is the same. You can also do B/A (where B is the crossfire fps, and A is the single card fps) and then you'll have a number like like "1,XX" where XX is the percentage of increase :) look: B= 115 fps A= 60 fps B/A= 1,91 --> 91% of performance increase (if you had as result 2.00...

Tnx for the fast answer! :D I'l try to show you where is the error: If whe have these values: A: is the fps number on single card B: is the fps number in Crossfire The right calc is this: Pecentage Scaling performance from A to B is: [ (B-A)/A ] * 100 In example: A= 60...

I've sent a pm to w1zzard :) Waiting for a public answer :)

If I had to be honest, I don't like to waste my time to re-do the math also for 6870 crossfire. Sorry, that will take time. Otherwise, they are very stupid calcs, I'm sure that you can calculate the average scaling increase by yourself ;)

I'm sure too :) My purposose was only to show a possibile error in the result summary, to let Wizzard correct it :)

the real number are much better than the 460 SLI ;) if you cut out bench and 2 or 3 games that are not well supported: it will read an AVERAGE 90% of increase ;)

Just for example, in the gtx 460 SLI review, the scaling summary says that for the 1920x1200 resolution, it was 72%, vs the 59% of the 6850 crossfire. GTX 460 SLI: 6850 Crossfire: But if you made the math yourself, (of if you just see the game performance), you see that the increase of...

I hope that's not a fault of my bad english that generate confusion :ohwell: I'me agree with you: the important values are the single game chart :cool:

you're right. I don't really know what the numbers in the "performance scaling summary" represent: But they DO NOT represent the performance boost from one single card to 2 crossfire card. The correct values are the one i've posted before.

updated with also bench values.

I've also includeded on the final scaling values ALL the test in the review. But the final value it is completely different. No way that it could be 59%.

Tnx, but this is not an answer to the mistake. The problem it is completely different. Based on the review's bench, the final "scaling" boost graph is wrong.

Yes, that's true. Techpowerup guys made the same mistake also in the gtx 460 sli review (and I think in other xfire/SLI review). Here the right values for a 6850 crossfire config: Scaling @ 1920x1200 Games: 1) Alien Vs Predator : Image +96,9% ! 2) Bad Company 2 : Image +100,07% ...
