I never mentioned anything about price. I was talking about the performance of the cards due to the newer drivers.

I was looking for factual data on which one is faster given the newest drivers, since they (4870 & GTX260) are on par with each other on CT 8.7 and FW 177.41

The 4870 is faster overall, 260 rules the 3D Marks only.

Besides, not all games support multi-card so I think the gtx280 defiantly should be on top.

the GX2 at the highest resolutions does well. However, once you turn on the AA, it slows down to a crawl due to its 256bit 512mb framebuffer. This is where the GTX280 shines and makes it faster overall.

I tested a GX2 Running crysis DX10 high/veryhigh mixed settings 1680x1050 @ 40fps... but once you turn on even 2x AA, framerate drops to 17fps.

where is your proof of this?

I know the 260 lagged behind the 4870, but let me repeat that newer drivers have brought them neck and neck with each other.
