A GDDR 4 HD 3870 X2 will still be faster than the HD 4870 won't it? I was thinking about a single HD 4870 or a HD 3870 X2 with GDDR 4.
HD 4870 all the way !A GDDR 4 HD 3870 X2 will still be faster than the HD 4870 won't it? I was thinking about a single HD 4870 or a HD 3870 X2 with GDDR 4.
In what? The 4850 seems to get awfully close already at times from what I've seen.
<edit> and at the same money I'd have to think that 4850 crossfire is going to kick the crap out of the 3870x2.

Oh my god !
Not a typo, not a mistake. I used to work for a large computer parts supplier, and this looks like our marketing managers "advertising" at work. If competitor had a product for £400, but neither of us had it in stock, our site would show £300.
Not only does it not give your competitor an idea of your retail price, but how many people will have bookmarked that site, and when the real price shows up, just buy from there anyway, even when they put the price up to $5-600, because thats the standard price at other sites too.
We'll see in less than 48 hours anyway.
Don't those Crysis scores for the 4850 look a bit low to you? (1680x1050 All High, 35 FPS)
It's around a stock 8800GT.
No, that's impossible if your CPU is a C2D above 2GHz or something.
The avg FPS on 1680x1050 all High with a single 8800GT is 34 for me, with an E8400 running at something like 3.5GHz (I don't remember)
In SLI maybe. For instance [H] got about 29fps in crisis on mostly med (shaders high) at 1280x1024 no AA/AF with an 8800GT.
At Toms the GT doesn't even manage 20 fps in their crisis test at 1680x1050. Although they don't say the settings so perhaps it was very high.
