The top of the chart is dominated by the various multi-GPU solutions we tested. The overclocked XFX 8800s are successfully able to perform faster than their counterparts.

The general trend of the tests is that the XFX GeForce 8800 XXXs turn out faster than the default clocked 8800s. Multi-GPU systems are naturally still the fastest, and their tests were mostly included for easy performance comparison.

Shadermark results have two interesting elements to them. For the most part, the highest performers are video cards based on the GeForce 8800 architecture, with slightly higher performance for the overclocked XFX solutions. In addition, we see a breakdown in SLI and Crossfire as they clearly end up performing less than single card solutions during the test.
