[Tefra]

ATI Technologies proclaimed the world?s record 3DMark05 score that was achieved by the company?s CrossFire platform featuring two presumably overclocked graphics cards. The new record is 15498 marks, which is around 6% higher compared to the previous record held by a multi-GPU system based on NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra SLI platform.

The system that attained the world?s top 3DMark05 score to date was powered by an ATI RADEON XPRESS 200 CrossFire Edition mainboard, a RADEON X850 XT-series graphics card as well as a RADEON X850 CrossFire Edition graphics card, both were allegedly overclocked substantially over default clock-speeds. Usually systems that set records are equipped with AMD Athlon 64 FX processors running at speeds higher than default as well as high-performance memory modules. The record-breaking machines are typically cooled down using nitrogen or cascade cooling systems.
