ATI 4870 Battlefield 2142 performance

Thinking of upgrading my 7950gt SLI for a single card solution, the only problem is my main games are bf2 and 2142.
The inquirer had some Nvidia 280 scores for 2142, cant seem to find any performance numbers for the 4870 for bf2 or 2142. Anyone have any ideas?

Whatever the 280 scored, knock about 5-10% off. That's the 4870.

Yea now imagine what ATI can do with the x2 version of it. O.o! more Bandwith+more ROPS its shocking.

If you already have an SLI mobo and you don't mind the ocassional game having trouble with SLI, then go for it. Otherwise, you're better off with the single 4870. In fact, single cards are generally preferred over multiple ones in SLI/Xfire, but that's slowly becoming less true with each passing month. Still, there are issues.

If you ask me, I'd go with 4870. It's a bit more money if you already have an SLI mobo, but like I said, no SLI/Xfire issues and you're practically garunteed that the card will get better with time due to better drivers. Nvidia's driver releases aren't quite as frequent and tend to be more geared towards making new stuff work and/or make old stuff more stable than to increase performance. ATI's drivers seem to get a mix of everything, performance increase included. Also, not sure, but 4870 might draw less power than 2 8800GTs and will probably also need a less powerful PSU. Not sure about connectors though.
