XFX HD6850 Dual Fan CFx review – ultimate gaming for £300 ?

So far we have seen a variety of games and a selection of synthetic benchmarks. While these results are interesting, they deserve some further analysis.

We thought it would be worthwhile scoring the four £300 gaming solutions with all the single screen testing so far. We are going to award the hardware points on the following basis.

For every title in the review so far:

First place = 5 points
Second place = 3 points
Third place = 2 points
Last place = 1 point

Out of eight titles tested in single screen this means that if one solution (theoretically) won all of them, it would score 40 points. Equally so, if a solution came last in everything, thats a total of 8 points.

The XFX HD6850 Crossfire configuration has proved to be the fastest solution across all the testing so far, by a total of 4 points. Both AMD and nVidia single card systems are joint last on 15 points. Clearly two cards are better than one.

Now that we have the single screen testing out of the way and a confirmed winner, we wanted to show you both visually and statistically just how capable the XFX HD6850 boards are across three screens at 5760×1080 resolution.
