Do you have any info about whether this card is going to have a possible mechanism to reduce or eliminate microstuttering or multi-GPU driver issues? If not I don't think it will be beating the GTX280 in games with poor or nonexistent multi-GPU support since a single 4870 can almost never meet/beat a GTX280. OTOH, unless something goes horribly wrong the R700 certainly should utterly destroy the GTX280 in frame rates in games with multi-GPU support. In theory 2 4870s should give about the same performance as GTX260 SLI. I am really hoping that AMD/ATI is going to do something about the microstuttering issue though. Having parts of the game perform at the same level as a single card quite significantly reduces the value of multi-GPU for me.
