CF are above the 285 because 640 cores x2 scale better than 800 x2. edit: just looked at UK prices and the cheapest 4870 1GB is £133 ex VAT, usually the cheapest is about £145 so prices have gone down here. Both crossfired are faster than a gtx285, it's...

ATI HD4850 & 4870 price cut.. Hi, I've been checking newegg.ca and some other stores recently because of the news that ATI will be cutting their prices on the said video cards. However, I have not seen these price cuts yet. Does anyone know when? It's been...

Radeon 4850\4870 Price Drops UK??. I read an article recently about those cards dropping in price last week in the US. It was expected that they would drop in the UK too. I haven't noticed any drops yet though. Any idea if\when and how much the drops...

about the upcoming 5870. So what do you guys think I should do? Another 4870 or wait for the 5000 series. -Thanks for the help I'd say wait. If anything the 4870 price should come down and waiting gives you a chance to check out the benchies and make...

thinking change mine 8800GTX for 4870x2 Buy a 4870 now, then you can sell it later and upgrade to a 4870x2. You'll get much better re-sale residuals out of a 4870 than a GX280. 4870 is almost as fast as the gx280, at half the price (or less)....

shipping. Might I ask where you're finding the HD4870 the same price as the HD4890? Either the 4890 is dirt cheap or the 4870 is priced like diamonds. They're $80 apart where I'm looking. All stores i've checked here list the 4870 and 4890 around the $300 AUD...

set-up, b/c both choices rely heavily on those points. However both produce quite a bit of heat, the GX2 more than the 4870, and the power consumption is still higher than the 4870. How bout you buy my used GX2 off me for 215$?? That sounds like the best...

just thinking: 4870: 299$ GTX260: 399$ And 4870 beats the 260. FTW with nVidia? Depending on fanboyism? The thing that is going to choke hold nvidia is the 4870 is priced at 299 and im sure there will be rebates for the card bringing that further down to...
