Not that we'd suggest CrossFire for low resolution and detail in the first place, but it gives a good reference for the core subsystem performance that isn't graphics limited. Call of Duty is a bit slower on the P35 Diamond but Quake 4 and Half-Life 2: Episode One are a bit faster and Supreme Commander performs about the same on both boards - so in all the MSI comes out slightly ahead on average.
