這下有趣了,之前在六月份Computex大會看到ATi的Crossfire成績
竟然是ATi以一個特制的驅動(僅可以生成奇數frame的)用以模擬AFR模式下的成績
這種行為等於是ATi給評測媒體、顯卡廠商一個特制的驅動來營造CrossFire的預想成績
實際的計畫是,CrossFire恐怕要等R520上市後才一併發表
從消費者的角度來看,x800/x850的CrossFire充其量又是一個紙上發表的產品罷了.
Kudos,ATi.
ATI distributed a special driver to their partners prior to the Computex launch that was designed to simulate CrossFire performance, by only rendering odd frames (effectively doubling the frame rate and simulating AFR performance). Although we can't confirm that we also ran with this driver back at Computex, chances are we probably did. But more importantly,
the reviews you've seen where a pair of slave cards are used aren't actually testing CrossFire, they are simply simulating the performance of CrossFire by rendering half the frames.
