It's really a Xfire review. Shows trifire handing quadfire its ass. Except in the exceptionally well coded Source game... go figure.

Radeon HD4870 1GB (750/900)
Radeon HD4890 1GB (850/975)
So let me get this straight. They're comparing:

2900XT (old)
8800GTX (old)
9800GT (8800GT, still good, but somewhat old)
GTS250 (9800GTX+, benchmarked MANY times, last gen)
GTX280 (we know already)
4870 (we know how this performs)
4890 (finally a new card)

Throw a 216 or a GTX285 or 275 in there and this might be a useful review.

I'm disappointed that they didn't show any SLI performance. So much for a "big GPU shootout" when they only include ATI multi-GPU configurations.

its newer than the 8800GTX...And not really THAT much older than a 8800GT/3870 (like 5-6 months).
IT performs pretty similar to a 3870/9600GT/8800GTS g80/8800GS/4670/9600GSO.
Its so funny whats considered old now, the card is newer than my Q6600 and the majority of my rig.

But in all honesty: They throw in top end Crossfires and TriFires, but no SLI? I don't want to sound like a fanboy or anything, but that's slightly biased IMO.
