HD 4870 X2 preview links

Its nice to see 4870x2 vs 4870 xfire, vs GTX280 SLI

My 4870 Xfire rig pwns the taff out of the GTX280 SLI and keeps up with the 4870x2 in AoC.

Makes me feel good about my purchase :D
 
Dang. Given the fact those numbers are on beta drivers is amazing and still compete with the almighty GTX 280. I really hope this is 1 small step in what is a turning point for AMD. Now if Only they could pull a rabbit out of their hat for a processor to compete vs nahalem.
 
The HD 4870 X2 eats the XFX GTX 280 XXX for breakfast :D Looks like 80% Crossfire scaling on average. I hope that the price won't be too high.
 
good preview on Hardocp front page too. I wish there was more time for more than two games.. especially considering crysis was one of the two and AMD still has work to do to scale crossfire for that game. I would of liked to of seen Unreal 3 engine game and maybe Company of Heroes.

But still it shows us the power of the 4870x2 and let us not forget this is beta pre release driver. Kudos to AMD.

The RV770 GPUs on our early sample are clocked at 750MHz, the same speed as the regular 4870. As a result, the X2's 1600 total stream processors have a peak computational rate of 2.4 teraflops. That's, erm, considerable—beyond the obvious graphics applications, that's the sort of computing power that may one day enable men to figure out what women want.

Fixed. I can't be the only one here who immediately thought that. ;)
