There's a continual "issue" with Half-Life 2: Episode One, a GeForce 7900 GTX and Windows Vista, hence the low frame rate, but again we're seeing Call of Duty 2 is slightly slower and Quake 4 fractionally faster in single card and CrossFire. CrossFire performance in Supreme Commander is several frames per second lower, but single card performance is slightly faster. In all there's no outright performance advantage or disadvantage in gaming from the MSI P35 Diamond however its performance is still very good.
