I don't know either, I was just wondering.
I would guess 3x GTX280 will defeat 2x 4870x2. But you guys are comparing a card that is 2-3 months away to a card that is out today.

We don't know if AMD will have to reduce the clocks alot for 4870x2 because of the incredible heat and power consumption. We don't know if in 3 months Nvidia will have gone to 55nm and 750Mhz stock frequency, we don't know if in 3 months GTX280gx2 may be coming soon.

You are giving ATI this huge advantage in the assumptions you are making but NOT giving the benefit of those same assumptions to NVidia.

For the record I may be biased because I just ordered another GTX280 tonight to go SLI.

However, when I look at the scores of what is available today 2x GTX280 SLI blows away anything else that is out there.
