3DMark05

Using Catalyst 8.6, we ran the card on the ASRock Intel X48 mainboard X48TurboTwins-WiFi with a pair of Kingston DDR3-1800 running at DDR3-1600 C7-7-7-20, 2T.

Using a single card, a score of 19022 is achieved. This score is a bit lower than the 9600GT Turbo (factory o/c to 700/1000 by default and runs around the speed as a 8800GT). When two cards were paired up together, it scored 21530.

If we were to compare that to the 9800GX2 card we tested before on a ASUS Striker II Extreme, the CrossFire results of 2 4850 is really amazing. It is at least 2000 points in the lead by11%. Let's see what happens with 3DMark06.

Similarly, we used the same procedure to test out 3Dmark06. It scored 13087 using a single card. This score is 900 points better than the 9600GT turbo we have. Again we check out the CrossFire scoreline, it scored 17065 while the 9800GX2 scored only 16400. Again, a CrossFire 4850 it takes the lead by 4% agsint a single card 9800GX2 which runs two GPU inside.
