you posted, they are comparing vs a 4850, not a 4870. Try not to post misleading information. That being said. 4870>9800GX2. The 9800GX2 might get slightly better framerates, but you will see a longer life with the 4870. Nvidia can barely support...

babies to choose from. I find so many benchmarks where they compare the 4870 to the gtx 260/280 and since the 9800gx2 seems to be an older card, I cant find much comparing 4870 to the 9800gx2 .... :cry: I'm hoping that the small amount of benchmarks I...

the GTX 280 or 4870. I know it will be one or the other it's just hard to draw a conclusion at the moment they both seem to have their benefits and drawbacks. Between gtx280 and 4870? Isn't 4870 and gtx260 more fitting since they cost the same? gtx280 cost...

the next level of cards which are the 9800GX2/GTX260/4870. Then you have the GTX280 and 4879X2 which are both very pricey for what you get. 9800gx2 outperform gtx280 for far less. There is no reason to skip the second most powerful single card, after...
