HD4870 X2 vs GTX295 with Catalyst 9.1

[jam2k]

Looks like HD4870X2 is still the better choice overall. R700 gets consistently higher minimum FPS (and that's what counts), except for some titles where CF is broken or GTX295 is marginally faster.

Too bad selling a GTX295 is a very bad deal for nV, let alone the AIBs.
AMD and AIBs actually make profit by peddling R700s. But it's been like that since spring '08 so nothing has really changed. Except nV can now offer similar performance at 25% higher price.

Agreed, also it's amazing to see how well a $325 card performs against a 700$ GTX285 SLI setup at High resolutions.
