Theyre fairly similar until you get to the really high resolutions. Also, the 4850x2 is GDDR3 where as the 4870 is GDDR5.
Look at this HIS 4870 1GB. Its got a good cooler on it, and its OC'd from the factory.

HIS Cards with ICEQ are ALWAYS worth the money, over reference.
I second the HIS HD4870 ICEQ4. :THUMB:

he has a 600W enermax psu, so I don't think that could handle the 4850X2 but can handle the single 4870. I like that HIS one you linked also, really nice! Thanks.

That HIS card has faster clock speed than the Asus card. And the cooler is awesome, and these cards do run hot, so a good cooler is a must. My XFX card has a decent cooler, but the fan is by far the loudest fan in my case.
