Higher Scores = Better Performance

When the AA is turned on, this game usually tanks the ATI GPUs - resulting in really low FPS, as seen with the HD 4850 CorssFire combo; the rest of the ATI combos seem to hold out much better. With the upper end combos, the GTX 295 wins in both the quad and dual GPU modes in both resolutions. The GTX 285 blows away the HD 4890 and HD 4870 combinations again at both resolutions. The scoring gets a little closer when the AA is turned off, but that's not what this test is about.
