Re: Radeon 4850 vs 4870
said by Juke Box  :The difference is greater then 15 - 20% gain and 5 - 10 fps. Show us your sources. I'd be interested to see a comparison that shows more than 5-10fps (average) in crossfire between these cards. I'd appreciate a link, TIA. |

However CF/SLI is still relevant because its still a factor in choosing a graphics card. |

However CF/SLI is still relevant because its still a factor in choosing a graphics card. Yes I'm glad someone brought it up because I do plan on using CF down the road (might be awhile though). Based on what everyone has told me so far, it looks like the 4850 is the winner for me. However I have a question now about CF. Do you have to have the same cards or can we still mix and match them as long as they are CF supported? |

I dont know if you want to wait, but there may be better options for the price point you're looking at. I was going to wait for the 4870x2 release before i got mine, but i decided to stick with the SLI platform and got a GTX260 instead. I don't know if you can wait, though. |
