Sapphire Pure CrossFire 3200 - PAGE 9
J. Micah Grunert - Monday, October 23rd, 2006


From what we've seen so far, I don't really expect a phenomenal media encoding. After all, the Sapphire PC-AM2RD580 is a budget board, and thus far, has delivered budget board results.



Can we say "Ouch!"



Again, the Sapphire falls just a little short of all its brethren.



And the same results are seen yet again. But these should be granted some degree of latitude. Though these figures thus far have the Sapphire trailing the pack, this in no way means that the Pure CrossFire 3200 is not worth a second chance. To translate the figures we have been seeing into real world values, you're honestly splitting hairs and mincing over a few extra seconds here and there.

But we still have our favorite set of benchmarks yet to run. That's right! It's onto the games.
