Scaling is still the biggest problem above all the hype of the HD4850 !

sort it out AMD!
Look for yourself.

and i sure many of you saw the 3 way sli of the GTX 280. no need for me to bring it out right?

WAAAAAAAAA!!!!! wawawaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Cry fanboi cry!!!!

Dont buy the damn thing who cares but it still smoke your prized 9800gtx like a fat philly blunt!

NVidia always had good SLI. I must hand them that. When I got a second 6800GT way back, it actually nearly doubled performance.

That said, if the rumors are true about the 4870X2's new link...

Drivers are why I pledged never to own another ATI product again. I had an ATI 9700 and it the drivers were a farce. Everytime a new game came out they broke, and driver updates in turn broke old games. They totally lost me with their pledge to give regular driver updates. WTF? I want good drivers one time. Do it right and stop shipping what is essentially beta garbage for customers to work out their bugs. If i was running the show I would fire all ATI driver developers and managers of that group and get a competent crew in place because apparently nothing has changed in the last 5 or 10 years. There is no reason ATI video drivers should not be as rock solid and stable as a hard disk driver that is just as good 5 years from when you install it. Being a device driver writer for many years I think I know a little about this.

I dont see what the big deal is.......?? VRZone even says that the driver issue which is under 3 AND 4 CARD SETUPS ONLY does not distract them from the cards great quality. Those setups are for hardcore enthusiast only, and that kind of person wouldnt and shouldnt be doing that with a midrange card anyways. The card runs perfectly fine, and AMAZINGLY under single and 2 card setup which is key.

Like Nvidia has no issues with SLi....all these years and the scailing is still horrible, and drivers only comming out twice a year.

well perhaps most of us mainstream gamers need single cards at $200 budget

Not a fanboy... I guess that's why you author more anti-AMD/ATI threads than anyone else.

I dont believe in bashing, anybody can bash, its appreciating something else, maybe not your favorite brand that actually helps a enthusiast grow. By sticking with only 1 mindset, and brand, limits my abilities, and my fun

Well actually it did look guite good! The scaling of two GPU was great. Not sure if I newer will use anything more... And most propably the scaling will become a little bit better as time past as usual. (They says the same in the article...

so what i wrote in the OP is not facts from the review?

i think all of us should face the fact that if ANYONE had a setup of a card from either side. and the result is not as good as it SHOULD be. then that means the driver is not 100% perfect and still got flaws. but if everyone had no problem what so ever in any setup with the card then the driver is 100% working. perfect.

common sense isnt it?

I've had driver problems on both sides of the fence, so what's your point?
Neither Nvidia nor ATI have ever had perfect drivers in my experience, and they each have their flaws.

Stop nitpicking already.
If ATI have a driver problem with their cards, they'll fix it.

There you go with the insults again. Typical.
All the evidence anyone needs is right there in your posts.
Again, I'll direct you to many of the threads in which you were spewing crap. You should know them well enough.

I still own a 320gts, and it still leaks memory, it still freezes in some games with some drivers. It was artifacting with the 74.47 drivers too, that were beta because they hadnt released a whgl driver for over 6 months, so I ve had my share of problems with nVidia too, and Im looking forward to goin red again. I figure the jump from my 320 to a 4870 will be quite noticable and set me up for some time to come. And since I dont have 600 that Id feel comfortable putting in my rig for only a gpu, I can get near that performance for half the cost

I wont use a single slot, dont care for em, and really, dont need a g280. Im looking at the 4870, and its very close and sometimes outdoing what we know of the g260 and sometimes the 280

Yes, I feel the same way... Although I would still buy an nvidia product as long it was better performing than ATI's product, and had a decent price. But I will always be hurt by nvidia forking over the consumer.. 4870FTW!
