SLI vs. CrossFire, Part 2 – High-end multi-GPU scaling

Aliens vs Predator Aliens vs. Predator, known to fans as Aliens versus Predator 3 or AVP3 is a video game developed by Rebellion Developments, and published by Sega in February 2010. It is the sixth game of the Aliens versus Predator game series. There are three campaigns in the game, one for each race or faction (the Predators, the Aliens and the Colonial Marines), that form one main storyline although they differ in objectives depending on your choice of campaign.

Alien vs Predators DX11 benchmark is a stand alone bench that as the name says is only for DX11 cards. It is more demanding than actually playing the game generally. First we bench at 1920×1200 and 2560×1600 with maxed out settings plus 4xAA.

The GTX 580 is the faster single-GPU card while the HD 6990 is faster than the GTX 590.  GTX 580 SLI trades blows with HD 6970 CrossFire.  Let’s move on the 5760×1080:

No real change except that this benchmark is impossible for the HD 6970, and HD 6990 and the GTX 590 also struggle at 5760×1080.  Fortunately, the benchmark represents the worst case in actually playing the game; it is more demanding than over 95% of the game.
