Notes

A truncated set of benchmarks run at resolutions up to 2,560x1,600, We've also run Far Cry 2 at 2,560x1,600 with 8xAA and maximum AF, to see just how potent the MARS cards are. Competition comes in the form of a stock-clocked GeForce GTX 295 and Radeon HD 4870 X2. We've aslo added dual-card CrossFire and SLI numbers for the HD 4870 X2 and GTX 295 at 2,560x1,600, too.
