Strangely enough, Crossfire seems to be a technology which stays far from its own until resolutions and refinements are truly ramped up, at which point the added benefit of having a pair of VPUs working together makes itself known. What gamers do need to know however is that this strange behavior is by no work of ECS themselves, but rather the nature of the beast to which they subscribe.
