But you have to see that the 4870 and the X2 variant are both very good cards nonetheless. The 4870 still goes neck and neck with the GTX 260 216, and beat the old 260 hands-down. The X2 blew past the 280, and it didn't have as many microstuttering and internal-SLI (CF) problems as the 9800GX2. |
There's a reason why people sell them for cheap.... seriously. And I didn't start any arguments about the 4870, this is about the 5870X2/5970.
