by far the best single card solution out there

still struggling with Crysis at high resolutions tho

It would be nice to do Crossfire with that but I guess that isn`t possible..

Wow it owned the 280 in Crysis.

price is pretty much the same in the UK, although the cheapest 280 is a fair bit cheaper, however the ati's currently have arouns £50/$100 premium because they are only 2 days old. expect some nice price wars soon funny that nvidia dropped it's prices by $100 when the 4870's came out, dont think they expected ati's offereing to be that good and that cheap.

Wow, there's one on newegg for $269.

f it.. ill get the X2, hopefully a small price drop by the time i order the new pc

[atholon]

crap I was wrong that was the 3870.

I think I'd still get the 4870. I don`t need to blow $500 on a card.
