was someoenwaiting for a 4870 1gb review

[zanzabar]

I think the reviewer is somewhat skewed. Or perhaps it's the testing methodology? How come a single 4870, even with 1GB of VRAM, outperforms GTX 280 in Crysis? Also, how is it possible, shoddy scaling or not, for a single 4870 to beat dual 4850's? Compare to a review here:

HWC Review

Just a heads up.

xfire dosnt work with a 266mhz fsb chip thats why its faster than the 2 cards in xp, and xfire dosnt work well in crysis

but why is the 4870 beating the 280 surprising, the 48xx is much better at 4x MSAA, its almost free. that said it dose look ati sided
