ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 Preview

“It seems like for the first time in quite a while ATI/AMD are determined to put some real pressure on Nvidia at the high end of the graphics market. In our limited testing it was clear to us that ATI have a product which is able to outperform the GTX 280, on occasion by quite some way. It is not completely dominant however and as games like Crysis show the GTX is still capable of achieving higher framerates than the R700. It should also be taken into account that the R700 relies on the driver to ensure both GPU’s are fully utilised where as the GTX always performs at its maximum level.”
