I will also post some pictures of the card itself and how i have it installed in my computer. I'll keep everyone updated.

ll keep you updated when I get the card. Looks like it'll arrive Friday since it hasn't shipped yet. I got the drivers off of sapphire's website since I seen ati's don't work.

Great thread & card!

i thought the 4850x2 was currently out performing the GTX280 in some cases..??, by that reasoning it must beat the GTX260 out right..?? does it not..??

The HD4850X2 is out performing the GTX280 in actually almost everything that allows two GPUs. However my motherboard is bottlenecking me because I have PCI-express 1.0. Fitting two PCI-express 2.0 cards on one PCI-express 1.0 slot is like trying to shove two giant pipes in one thin pipe. So you can understand it's kinda slower. Also this card is very new so drivers are still unsupported. Even ATI's official drivers don't see the card at all. I will soon be getting a new P45 motherboard so I will post new benchmarks/results when I get it.

if you are running an x38 or an x48, then i'd go for the x2. if your 4870 is a 512meg model, all you need is the 1gb 4850x2 and you'll be set.

you'd probably want to clock your q a bit higher though.

daellum67 said it best. Pretty much all you need to know. You will benefit from getting the HD4850X2 in most cases but it's would be a good decision anyways. HD4850X2 is a great card.
