Wait, I thought one of the biggest reasons the HD2k and HD3k series sucked at playing Crysis was because it was limited by its texture units. nVidia have a lot more texture units and is the reason why it shines in Crysis (and its been more optimized than ATI's GPU's). The HD4850/4870 have twice the amount of texture units, far more shading power and higher clock speeds so its bound to be atleast twice as powerful than the HD3850/3870, which is still faster than any single nVidia GPU, though the GX2 should still be faster.
