We've also included the HD 4890 in the results for good measure, so we continue to see just what kind of performance gains are seen from the HD 5870. This setup, however, should give us a bit of a sneak peek into what to expect from the HD 5870 X2 when it's inevitably released. We've also included the GTX 295 which is the top dawg from NVIDIA and to be honest, is still the fastest single graphics card on the market.

Well, let's go to the next page and find out exactly. And really, you would know that already otherwise we wouldn't have bothered with the article. I'm going to spoil it a bit here yes, it worked. The next thing we had to do was fire up our benchmarks to see if everything was running as it should.

In the screenshot above you can see at the bottom it says we've got two GPUs enabled under CrossFire. There's two ways to see if it's actually working the first is to fire up GPU-Z.
