You’ll notice that the 2560×1600 scores weren’t reported on either of the CrossFire rigs — neither setup would enabled 4xAA through the control panel (even though it was set) at this resolution and I was unable to find a bug fix for it from AMD’s driver team.  At 2048×1536 though, the CrossFire configurations see an impressive 62% performance jump and the Diamond 1GB models are just BARELY faster than the reference cards.
