I'm trying to get an idea of how my 2x8800GT's stack up against the GTX200's and HD 4xxx's but I'm having trouble finding good benchmark comparisons. Going through TH's benchmarks, Far Cry 2 is too CPU-limited (I'm running an OC'd Q6600 which seems to be holding me back). In Left 4 Dead and FEAR 2 I'm getting 90 and 101 FPS, respectively, and while this puts my cards just below the GTX's (as opposed to HAWX where I got 68 FPS which scored better than the GTX 280) it's also high enough that I don't really CARE that it's not real high comparatively. And that just leave Endwar and Last Remnant...NEITHER of which I want to use (what's up with Endwar being limited to 30 FPS?). I love TH because of how easy it is to compare cards but I'm not real thrilled with their 2009 benchmarks, any ideas for alternatives?

The 8800GT's are a bit long in the tooth now so they don't tend to be used by reviewers, but the 9800x2 does so is this the kind of thing you are looking for?

Well, that is helpful, yes, but I'm not actually expecting 8800GT's to be reviewed for the reason you stated, I'm just looking for benchmarks that I can duplicate, and I'm beginning to get a feel for how my system stacks up so I should be able to compensate for the benchmarks done with an i7.

a chart like this?

sorta out of date, newest cards are on top now if they ever update it.

Well that chart came from a review of an HD 4850x2 and that's the only sort of thing that I've seen for the last few months. The full article can be found here.

Please do not post outdated reviews. In that time Dual GPU Graphic cards were not officially supported by ATI's drivers.

I'll post any review I want too. And Ati drivers not supporting their own cards?, never!

Right.. Good for you. Read ATI's white paper. They've been officially supporting DUAL GPU starting from ATI 9.1 Catalyst drivers.

Spreading miss information or old information does not help anyone here.
I am just being frank.

Reply to Euphoria_MK

And how was I spreading misinformation?

You've both been very helpful, thank you. And even if dual gpu for ati wasn't officially supported for the Crysis benchmark, at least I can use it to compare to the nvidia cards.
