Time in Seconds (lower is better)

The Call of Duty 2 performance on a single 7900 GTX is excellent and we even see some CrossFire scaling in low resolution from F.E.A.R. and Half Life 2: Episode One. It's worth bearing in mind that CrossFire isn't certified for this platform and we are using an AMD beta driver to enable it for a hint at where performance might be. This could be why the older P965 Commando in CrossFire performs better on all accounts. Overall the performance of a single GPU is very solid though.
