Doom 3:
The whole point of Crossfire and SLI is to get high frame rates with a lot of eye candy. Doom 3 results clearly show that a single X1900XT and two X1900XT's in Crossfire are both capable of very playable frame rates at all resolutions even with 4xAA and 8xAF with the 840 on a PF22.
Doom 3 got a healty 45% boost in FPS by going Crossfire at 1600x1200 4xAA 8xAF.
Splinter Cell 3:
Looking at the toughest test, a single X1900XT gets 58FPS, and Corssfire with two cards raises that to 101FPS - a very respectable 75% increase in frame rates.
Making sense of the results:
On artificial benchmarks, we can see a 2X increase in performance from running two X1900XT's in Crossfire mode, with the exception of the puzzling simple vertex shader test where inexplicably a single X1900XT is significantly faster than two X1900XT's. It is also safe to say that Crossfire performs very well in real world games on this board, and that it often beats an SLI'd 7800 GTX 512 rig.
