Let us start by looking at some synthetic benchmarks
3D Mark Vantage DX 10
3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test the DirectX10 performance of your graphics card and CPU. Futuremark has been making 3DMark for over 10 years, with each new edition using the latest 3D technology. I ran the test at the "Extreme" preset to obtain the results below.
Crossfire scaling is impressive. 5970 Crossfire is roughly 83% faster than a single 5970. Obviously, 3D Mark being a synthetic benchmark, this might not mean anything to a lot of people; especially if this scaling is not seen in actual games.
Unigine Heaven 2.0 DX 11
Heaven is a free DX 11 benchmark developed by Unigine Crop. It is based on the proprietary Unigine engine. The engine makes extensive use of hardware Tessellation, Advanced SSAO, volumetric clouds, dynamic sky with light scattering. Heaven benchmark is absolutely stunning and is also quite demanding on your GPU.
