AMD 7970 CrossfireX vs nVidia GTX 680 SLI Scaling (2-Way) Benchmarked

Just put together an AMD CrossfireX vs nVidia SLI Scaling (2-Way) graph for though who are interested in seeing how the two cards scale across different resolutions.

Test Bed:
ASUS Rampage IV Formula Motherboard
Intel Core i7 3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) processor
16 GB Corsair DDR3-1600 RAM
Enermax Platimax 1500W PSU
Windows 7 x64

High '%' = Better Scaling with the addition of the second card:

Im impressed how well crossfire scales these days, sorta shocked to be honest.

Couldn't Agree more, although SLI is no slouch either. They are almost neck and neck though things might change given a few more driver updates.

So what are the specs of the other things? Please don't tell me it's an AMD platform (AM3+ and Bulldozer).

Hey r3quiem,

How easy was it to enable the Nvidia Surround? And have you had any issues at all?

 

[r3quiem]

Personally i've had no issues setting up nVidia Surround using the "identify displays" method and arranging it in the same order as I see it on my desktop.
