Re: Radeon 4850 vs 4870
said by Juke Box  :said by sixstring :i think its a 15-20% gain from 4850 to a 4870 if memory serves. There are different benches out there that claim different gains. But something interesting i remember was that if you plan to go crossfire, the difference in framerates is very minimal - like 5-10 fps average. The difference is greater then 15 - 20% gain and 5 - 10 fps. Show us your sources. Source article:

it depends on what resolution you play your games at. At higher res the difference may be a bit more for certain games.
i forgot where i saw the multi-GPU (SLI/Xfire) comparison, i was shopping for a card so i must've read over 20 articles.. i'll look for it though.
EDIT:
Found it, here's the source:
»www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1481/8···dex.html
all comparisons are average fps at 1920x1200 in crossfire:
World in Conflict: 4850 @ 41 fps vs. 4870 @ 41 fps
Crysis: 4850 @ 17.47 vs. 4870 @ 19.33 fps
UT3: 4850 @ 112.36 fps vs 4870 @ 112.21 fps
3dmark06: 4850 @ 15472 vs. 4870 @ 16093
The difference is very minimal, now that i read through it again, you're probably looking at less than 5 fps difference in most cases. |

CoD4 is a weak GFX game.

| Yeah, it depends on the game. I was searching for benches from the games i played, like CoD4, CoH, etc so i can compare with my own experience from my 8800GTS SLI.
Because games do differ usually for a comprehensive bench i just use 3DMark.
