    Surprisingly good scaling... I'm somewhat skeptical, but if accurate, this is great news.

    Thats a review of the 3870X2, not the 4870X2.

    Holy siht at the UT3 results!!! 83FPS at 2048x1536 with friggen 8xAA and 16xAF??! That is absolutely insane!!

    I am getting two 4870X2s when they come out !!!

    impressive. it's funny how to begin with the single HD4870X2 has no issues at those insane settings. the second one for current games is a little over the top but this is XtremeSystems and over the top is what we do. however i would wonder how it scales in Crysis considering that game has a nack for bad scaling on new product.

    now if we want to talk over the top then we could use 2 of these in crossfireX on a Skulltrail platform loaded with 8GB of RAM. you could run multiple games at once *drools on keyboard*

    Those are some ridiculous numbers if true. And I hope so... I have a Rampage Formula lying around and a 30" monitor as well

    Glad you tested @ 2560, because to me, that's what this high end is all about. If it can do that well, you can mentally scale it down res/up perf.

    Yeah ... my max resolution on my LCD is 1600x1200, so with UT3 at 16x12 with 8xAA and 16xAF and two 4870X2s...

    I may get a better monitor for 1920x1200, though. And even then, that is way less than 2048x1536 (but still higher than 1080p)!!

    Forget it. Crysis won't scale at all with more than two GPUs.

    AMD leaked a vantage extreme score of dual 4870X2s a while back, and it was in the X12k range, higher than the one in the OP actually. And they confirmed somewhere that it was with a phenom.

    So... with dual 4870X2s and my Q9450 @ 3.7-3.9GHz (PLUS the overclocked GPUs as well)...

    eXa:
    Yeah one of them will run it. But the posted framerates were averages... so 50% of the time it was lower, 50% of the time it was higher. Now if I could get UT3 running at 1920x1200 at max graphics, with 8xAA and 16xAF, and never have the minimum framerate drop below say 80... I'd be set!

    Very nice indeed, this def. catches my eyes, BUT i can tell you one think, with dual GPU, you get a lower MIN FPS sometimes, but a big increase in MAX FPS, thats why you get a higher avg, anyway thats what i exp. with my 4850 crossfire.
