Shocker Of A Performer, 9800gt

[comp@ddict]

It's absolutely no use getting 4870X2 even if you have hoards of money(why don't such guys spare some money and give it to us, enough to buy us a new rig which we'll be happy with).

The CPU bottleneck is the main factor. So, for now, a 4870X2 single GPU(no CF, no OC) is the best.

arrey why do you need CF or OC when you already got the card that can be safely called:

"FASTEST CARD ON EARTH" [Include best performing too]

^^ I don't think so.

A Phenome X4 or Core2Quad are good choice for 4870x2.

and yes. Why do you think that buying this card is waste of money.

Imagine playing crysis on a 40" monitor.

I'm soooo sorry, I meant to write 4870X2 CF,very sorry again.

The performance increase with CF is not that good, due to CPU bottleneck. Hopefully with Deneb and/or Nehalem, this issue will be solved and I'm sure the new Catalyst drivers will set the performance even higher.

do you mean two 4870 card's or the 4870 X2 card that has two ATI graphic cores in one card?

two 4870's in CF mode are not that powerful yet but 4870 X2 is one hell of a card that shows 200% performance increase in some games over 4870. This is the fastest card available in the market. And it certainly is perfectly compatible with curren quad core and dual core processors.

I mean 2 4870X2 cards in Quad-crossfireX which isn't worth it(there are some ppl who hav the money to buy, so I'm helping them saving 30k).

^^ah. okay. Maybe they are trying to use that card with 108" Plasma

 

[comp@ddict]

Nah, @ 2560x1920 resolution is max, so more than 30" will only lead to depreciation in the quality of the picture.

Finally found a review to see, although results are not that good:
