the radeons scale very good in CF, especially the 6xxx series...
Similar to Arris, I have older setup (Q9650@4GHz with Corsair TX750) with 2 6850; scaling factor is above 90% which I find excellent...
Initially I had 2 Asus but one died, so I have played with one and I could really feel the difference;
now I have one asus and one saphire and both overclocked to 850 (via overdrive - didn't play with manual overclock since I do not see the need for it) and they run quite nice - no problems so far...
