Re: ATI HD 4870 & 4850 launch & price?
what ! a single card pwns 2 x 280GTX
, unbelievable
Not possible.
280GTX is currently the most performing card available as far as I can remember.
But its double the price of HD4870
So It makes much much more sense to go for HD4870 in crossfire, which beats 280GTX single by a huge margin
Yes.. But there's no point in releasing 9800GT now. The 4850 beats the GTX and its so much more cheaper. And the 2xx series cards are insanely overpriced and almost no VFM. The 4870X2 will beat it easily and will be available for a cheaper price.
GO AMD!
@shantanu: Dont forget to write a review on the Phenom 9550 once you get them
well, if they manufacture 9800GT with a cheap process and manage to get its cost to the same level that 9600GSO currently is, perhaps they might stand a chance
Take a look at this guys:

I wonder where the newer cards are. It perfectly shows that CrossFire is much better than SLI. HD2900XT CF beats 8800GTX SLI, even though indivudually the former is the looser.
And yes, here is a link for only single card comparisons, no crossfire, no sli and no X2 or GX2.
