Yet again, the MSI Eclipse SLI falls behind in multi-GPU performance and it's consistent across ATI and Nvidia hardware in Crysis it seems, and by an even greater margin of five frames per second with CrossFire.

Far Cry 2 performance on the other hand is in favour of the MSI Eclipse SLI over the Asus by a larger degree than previous with ATI hardware - nearly two frames per second on average and with a greater minimum by a single fps. It's not much, and unlikely noticeable in the real world but it's still a margin on both accounts.

The Asus P6T Deluxe noses ahead of the MSI Eclipse SLI in CrossFire performance in Left 4 Dead, but by less than a frame per second on average.
