Abbiamo provato il sistema sia in configurazione CrossFire sia a scheda singola. Per valutare meglio i consumi, nel secondo caso abbiamo fisicamente rimosso la seconda scheda AMD.

Come termine di paragone abbiamo inserito anche i risultati di una piattaforma desktop con CPU Core i7-920, Radeon HD 5850 e 6 GB di memoria DDR3-1333 CAS 7.
