Enjoy

Seems like these in top 3

280 GTX tri, 4870 X2 quad and 9800 GX2 quad.

Judging by the tests

280 GTX tr > 9800 GX2 > 4870 X2 Quad (lack of mature drivers, I'm sure that give it a month or so, it will be running at full power!) :pt1cable:

Although i must say that the 4870 CF (not the X2 CF) pulls its weight very well especially in COD4. Very good buy in my opinion 2 4870s

:bounce:

With the new GTX 260 being so close in performance to the 280 (at least in 3dmark 06), whats the point of buying the 280 now? I think this was everybodys early suspicions. Also why the hell does the 512mb 4850 score higher in Vantage than the 2GB one? They should at least be exactly the same if the 2GB isnt being utilized. Some of these results seem a little questionable.

About the 2GB 4850 performing like crap... Could be a BIOS problem of the card... I mean, might be a crazy vendor putting 2GB in there getting out of specs from the ATI fellows... I'm just fuzzing, but it could be that. So, with an update it could be fixed, or maybe the RV770 wasn't made for that VRAM size, lol.

Anyway, i like those charts. Simple and clear info for my eyes. I always appreciate that

Esop!

I haven't checked the benchamrks but i think the 2GB version is slower since the memory is slower than the 512mb version.

Wait. I just realized something, there is no 2GB 4850.......? There is only 512mb and 1GB....**EDIT** Apparently Powercolor makes a 2GB model, the one and only. Kind of worthless.

Even if. The stock memory speed is 1986mhz, that goes for stock 512mb and 1GB models, and of course they are both using GDDR3. **EDIT** And you are right bigbruin, the memory on the 2GB powercolor is at 1800mhz.

The benchmark for that card makes no sense, at all.
