I do NOT agree with the 9800gx2 over the gtx280 though. Gtx280 almost always out performs it in all the reviews I've seen.
Only at higher resolutions where the GX2's 512mb doesn't suffice, from what I've seen

it's 2 x 512mb... It's on-card sli, if anything it should be the one to do better at higher resolutions. But the gtx 280 has to be faster then it at lower resolutions because 9800gx2 shines at HIGHER resolutions anyways. Besides, not all games support multi-card so I think the gtx280 defiantly should be on top.

If you know how SLI works, then you'd know it's still 512mb total usable memory >_>

Why would the GTX280 be on top of the 9800GX2 or the 4870X2?

This isn't the thread about Performance Per Dollar, it's about what is better no matter the price. So the 4870 is put atop the GTX260.

And Astroz, pull your crap together and update this. It's two and a half months out of date.
