We see a massive increase in performance in Quake 4, but this time not with Call of Duty 2, although it still performs at least as fast as the other boards. CrossFire is slightly faster for both Half-Life 2: Episode One and Supreme Commander but overall there isn't enough of a performance difference for you to be able to tell the difference. You still need a card (or pair of cards) to really stress the PCI-Express bus in order to require a couple of x16 lanes.
