Quick example:

GRiD

2560x1600 4xAA

HD4870X2 - 82 fps

Welcome back ATI, we missed you.

its two 4870s on one PCB... why woouldnt it have 2GBs?

anyways, still under impressed, crossfireX support sucks but for some ars reason the 4870X2 + 4870 = good. WTF???????

Wait for nVidia to release their next card. Think the GT280 was powerful for a card, you can get for under $400, then just wait.

Why are they comparing a card with two GPU's to a card that only has one?

Ever since AMD got involved (at least i heard), the Radeon line has been picking up speed, fast. I'd say there will be a very close race between Nvidia and ATI from now on.
