SLI doesn't want to scale in our Half-Life 2: Episode One test and no matter how hard we try to force it in the BIOS or drivers, we still cannot get it to scale consistently if at all. CrossFire, on the other hand, seems to work fine in this particular scenario.

With regards to the scaling in the other games, SLI works fine although it's not quite as fast in some games but we're just talking a few frames per second at most here; certainly not enough for you to have to start making compromises to your gaming experience. It still certainly keeps up with the fastest SLI boards we've tested in the majority of cases.
