Pick up two $240 GTX 260 SP216s (cheaper than single HD4870 X2), voltmod it and put it under water and it will smoke any HD4870 X2s, including yours.
1) false 9.1 or 9.2 will be the release of multithreaded drivers and on top of the normal improvments that come with any driver release the 4870 will once again be the better card the the 260 216. If it isnt then I guess I will eat my shoe

2) dont tell me what will cost less, my entire card (waterblock+card)cost $400, the combo you just listed would cost over $600 after waterblocks are considered

(a 4870x2 can be had for 449 shipped at ewiz making it cheaper still)
