Benchmarks: Devil May Cry 4

Devil May Cry 4 works very well with both SLI and Crossfire, and therefore we always expected the Radeon HD 4870 X2 to do well in this game and it has.

At 1440x900 we saw an average of 320fps produced by the new AMD dual-GPU graphics card, which was roughly the same result we got from a pair of Radeon HD 4870 cards running in Crossfire mode. This put both Radeon configurations well ahead than anything else tested.

At 1680x1050 the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is just as impressive though it was 11fps slower than the Radeon HD 4870 Crossfire setup. With an average 260fps the Radeon HD 4870 X2 was significantly faster than other cards we tested.

At 1920x1200 the Radeon HD 4870 X2 still managed to perform at well over 200fps on average, making it 84% faster than the GeForce GTX 280, which is obviously a very impressive result.
