sweet.., thanks for sharing :-)

On a bang for buck quick analysis it seems that an hd4850 crossfire system is the way to go ($400 USD) - the same price of one gtx 260.

Agreed. Tri-fire would stomp 1 GTX 280 also. Funny how this works out

[LagunaX]

I haven't been an ATI fanboi since my old connect3d unlocked pipeline x800gto.
Man, just got an xfx xxx 8800gts 512mb too running at 800/2000/2200.
When the hd4850 x2 comes out then that will be my next card...

Are you sure? You know how much power that would require?

[atlxkevinx]

Wow. I might have to get myself two 4850s!!!

I'd have to disagree. A better bang for your buck would be 2 8800GT 512mb's in SLI for $300-320.

Well it is not a bad value but:

hd4850 crossfire (stock) with a qx9650 (4ghz) 3dmark06: 22,063

8800gt 512mb SLI (overclocked) with a q6600 (3.96ghz): 20,268

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=164238

The 45nm quad helps a little over the q6600 but again the hd4850's are stock.

For the extra $ I'd probably get the hd4850's but am going to wait for an x2 model probably...

EDIT: thru saturday 21st $150 visiontek hd4850's at best buy locally:

I have had both along with 512 GTS g92 sli and this 4850 xfire setup is much better all around, not to mention nvidia motherboards are disgusting across the board (literally) I love this x38 I got from mwwave open box, came with all the stuff like new for $140 shipped, 4.1 on a wolfy with my mem at 1100 and lowest mobo vaults on everything set manually 12 hours p95 stable not to mention while running intel matrix raid 0. I will never touch another SLI mobo again.

yeah, like someone there cares about electricity bill

[MrHydes]

in benchmark ATI always performs better than nvidia...

review some games plz

thanks

[masterchorch]

some new Graphics

3DMark06 : AA / AF @ 1280x1024 & 1920x1200


3DMark Vantage

[MrHydes]

WTF is this for real?

[masterchorch]

what do u mean?

... all scores come from own benchruns

[perkam]

Apparently purple was chosen over the other 255 colors on the pallete Seriously, use red or something

Otherwise, the GTX 260 is looking good...let's see them 800Mhz on Ze Cores !!

thats a tough 1 there.pros and cons to both setups in that pricerange.things to consider including cpu overclocked power to push,power supply needed,heat,compatibality for your games etc.
