Gaming Performance
The overall gaming performance of the MSI K8N Diamond Plus is extremely competitive and consistent throughout the benchmarks. The board exhibited very strong showings in the Serious Sam II and F.E.A.R. benchmarks while finishing in the lead group with the other titles. In actual game play the board exhibited superb manners in both single player titles and in our online gaming sessions that sometimes lasted up to eight continuous hours. We tested the MSI board in both standard and overclocked conditions during game play without issue.

Just FYI, I've sent Gary a message to check the FEAR and COD2 CF numbers. They seem a bit low to me, but I haven't personally tested a CF system so I can't say for sure. Gary will most likely be on in a couple hours to comment, once he gets out of bed. Which is where I need to go now....Take care,

It looks like the current FEAR and COD2 scores for Crossfire are correct, in that CF doesn't work fully right now. Unlike SLI where profiles can be manually force, CF mostly works or not. Just in case anyone was wondering. :)
