Oblivion: Shivering Isles
Oblivion is no different from what we've seen for the most part today: the Radeon HD 3870 X2 is 19% faster than the 8800 GTS 512, the closest single-card competitor from NVIDIA.
The added memory bandwidth thanks to having two GPUs on a single board gives the 3870 X2 a huge advantage once we turn on 4X AA, here we're looking at almost 2x the performance gap between it and the GTS 512 as we saw with AA disabled.
