Well they were wrong. There is absolutely no way a single 8800GT is going to beat a 3870 in crossfire.

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...html#post26213

There is my proof at the bottom of that review.

3870 in crossfire gets 17,503 in 3dmark2006
8800GT single gets 12,792 in 3dmark2006

You probably read a review posted by that one guy who got caught switching his numbers around to favor Nvidia.

I know you were replying to another person, but I don't understand your point. He posted the "proof" because an Nvidia fanboy was claiming just the opposite in 3dmark. Or would you rather lies be spread to favor Nvidia?

Just a FYI... 3dmark06 is useless.
