Got some interesting results on Crossfired 4870s, DX9 vs. DX10.

Using 8.7 beta drivers.

All tests done in 32bit: 64bit crashed every time on loading for DX9 and very low FPS + graphics corruption in DX10.

Cards clocked at 800/900.

Using the custom Ultra High [HD] config posted earlier in the thread.

1680x1050

DX9

No AA:
Min: 28.17
Max: 66.28
Avg: 46.6

4x AA:*
Min: 20.24
Max: 48.64
Avg: 33.045

8x AA:
Min: 24.41
Max: 53.63
Avg: 40.225

16x AA:
Min: 24.66
Max: 53.85
Avg: 40.52

DX10

No AA:
Min: 18.27
Max: 45.94
Avg: 28.97

*Graphics corruption observed.

While playing the game, it's really strange... I have 60FPS, then if I zoom in with either a scope (sucks because I like sniping! luckily though it doesn't affect the reflex sights so the game is still playable ;)) or the binops my FPS halves and I get mouse lag, even after i've zoomed out again. Only way to fix it is to quit the game and restart it! Also AA from the game menu has big FPS impact - unlike the benchmark which showed hardly any decrease. I can only conclude from these two things that this game is royally fubared :p.
