idk... a 30% boost....

i'd rather get another 4870 or just wait for the 4870 x2

Looks pretty good, but it seems like it chokes a bit in dx10 very high - min fps 18

Thats still a good run - do you find any microstuttering in the gpu test or is it pretty consistant?

Yeah, I'd rather have a 2nd 4870 to crossfire too, but I have to let my wallet catch up! I had the 4850 first and just got the 4870 today so I figured, why not throw them together for now. I can't wait for fan control and a 3rd party OC application!

Well, in the Crysis bench the more FPS you get the faster it goes, but I couldn't see any microstuttering, and is much more constistant than 3870's in crossfire.

neat, these ATI cards did really do it. cant wait till i get my 4850.

Very nice!
I can't wait till my pair of 4850's get here.
Then I just wait to add a 4870x2 to the CrossFire pile and call it a day!

How much of a drop do you get when you enable AA in Crysis?
From what I have been seeing, these cards laugh at AA like it is nothing.

why not put the 4870 cooler on the 4850, then put the aftermarket cooler on the 4870?
