Call of Juarez is practically the poster-bench for CrossFire, so it's no surprise to see it dominating the top spot here.
But even though this benchmark always tends to favor ATI cards, the HD4850 comes astonishingly, amazingly close to the GTX 280's performance here -- and the GTX 280, as you probably know, costs three times as much.
Very impressive.

The problem that you also have is your motherboard's bottlenecking the cards try using something with a P45 or X38/48 chipset, i've found when using P45 there is enough bandwidth for a single 4850 but with 2 cards on a P45 vs X38 or X48 the X38/48 slaughter P45/35 because of the additional PCI-E bandwidth. Anyone testing any cards about 4850 or faster (4850,4870,9800GX2,GTX260/280) will encounter a bottleneck with pci-e bandwidth. One way to prove this is to raise your FSB without raising your clock speed (by adjusting your multiplier). On your 975X board @ 400 FSB (1600 QFSB) you will see way more bandwidth for the card and thus better results, bench it @ 266 (1066) and see the results.
