We see much the same results here as in the previous title.  Only when we go to the highest resolution do we see Hydra come out ahead in anything.  Even then, it is just a few FPS over the single card.  Note how again we see a decrease in performance with the 768 MB card when two are used.  The results are all over the board though, so it is hard to detect any kind of real pattern here.

The lower resolutions were pretty inconclusive, but once things reached 2560×1600 we see the Hydra solutions actually taking a nice lead.  The only outlier is again the GTX 460 768 MB card.  The best overall scaling is arguably the GTX 460 1GB edition.
