A little over three weeks back, AMD unleashed their HD3870 X2 graphics card which put AMD back on top for the fastest graphics card. Although the card featured a Crossfire connector bridge, drivers were not available to take advantage of this feature. AMD has now released their 8.3 Catalyst drivers that allow you to run two HD3870 X2 graphics cards in Crossfire mode allowing you to harness the power of four GPUs.

However, the problem with most of the current crop of games is that they don’t utilize multiple cores efficiently and generally you have to wait from a driver update from nVidia or AMD to make newer games perform better in an SLI or Crossfire configuration. Even with driver updates, doubling GPUs doesn’t result in doubling performance- far from it most of the time. With that thought, we wondered how four GPUs will work out- will they be less efficient than two GPUs or will we see performance levels never achieved before.

So sit tight and lets proceed to find out what four of AMD’s highest-end GPUs are capable of achieving in games we play today.
