From a few reviews and benchmarks that I've seen here I agree. There was one member here who owned both that said that his 4850 performed better. Could something in his system be limiting his 3870x2?

NCSpecV81 actually said he thought the HD3870X2 was faster.

Drivers should fix that though, hopefully.

Ok so I'll put the 3870x2 above the 4850 now, thanks guys.

As for the nVidia Vanta and such, I'd be glad to add them, I just have no clue as to where they would go.

4870 should be faster than GTX 280.

by the way, where does the AGP HD3850 slot in? could you please add it? thanks

another suggestion, could we also include SLI cards and crossfire rankings? that way, it could help people decide whether an HD4870 would be faster than their older 8800GT's in SLI to warrant an upgrade.. stuff like that

1. isn't the 8800Ultra faster than the HD4850?
http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-at...-powercolor/12
2. I don't see the 9800GTX+ on the list... above the 4850 and below the HD3870X2?

um... I believe the 4850 was comparable to the 9800... it single handedly destroys the 8800.
