Because the 4870X2 isn't twice as fast as a 4870. And since the 5870 is slightly slower than the 4870X2...

No, the GTX295 is faster than the 5870, and while the 5870 does have a near perfect AF algorithm, GT200 still has damn good AF, way better than R600 through RV770. In practice it is very hard to see the difference unless you run that tunnel program that is designed to show the difference.
