    It destroys the GTX 280 in everything, they even looked to have fixed that micro stuttering.Incredible

    Only negatives is the Power consumption, but powerful machines need fuel.

    Best thing is Nvidia are dropping prices like crazy and have 55nm Gtx 200's on the way with much higher clock rates and lower power consumption

    I have an ATI 2900xt at the moment - runs well still but sometimes struggles. I think I'm going to get a 4870 now. Amazing performance and the Sapphire card is only €230 or something on Komplett. Kind of a no-brainer of an upgrade

    Relative

    Wow, I was considering just getting a second 4870 for crossfire, but with the X2 beating 2 of them in Xfire its a no-brainer. Minds made up now, I'm selling the 4870 when I get the X2
