This is the same fanboy who will try to tell you ATI has not retaken the single card performance card crown and nvidia still has it in the 280. Another review from the same sight show the 4870X2 is faster than not just a single GTX 280, but two GTX280s in SLI.

Yes that's right, the $500 X2 is faster than two GTX 280s coming in at $900. Now watch the fanboy explain how this is just not so. But still insist the 260 'is far and away better than a 4870 1GB'
yes, sure it is
Nothing you linked to says anything of the sort
X2 is still $550 although it has recently been on sale and my GTX280 was $380, over 5 weeks ago
i don't have to be a fanboy of anything but truth to correct your misrepresentations [also]
it *appears* that the 4870/1GB is pretty damn equal to the new GT260
- fanboys will spin individual benches to make one look better than another
and GRID is *one* game where a GTX280 is no slouch either ..
Fixed my link to start at the benchmarks, rather than the conclusions
http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/15293/5
exactly what i mean about fans of either manufacturer *spinning* a single bench
what they said:
Well, this is a great game, but it's pretty much CPU limited with its quality settings maxed out along with 16X aniso and 4X AA. At 2560x1600, the multi-GPU configs do separate a little bit, and the 4870 X2 comes out ahead of three GTX 260s in SLI, let alone two.
so now we have a 2% difference - well within margin of error
That is one comment tied to the COD4 benches, if you look through all the benches you'll see the X2 is faster than GTX 280 SLI and TRI-SLI as well in all the other games at all the resolutions. The one exception is Crysis. Although that review was done when Crysis wasn't scaling well on the X2. But I'll still bet the gt200s are faster for Crysis in SLI, other than that the X2 is faster than 2 280s across the board.
Pretty impressive for $400 less.
Hold on
Why am *i* supposed to look to support YOUR premise
what you posted supports the opposite conclusion - twice!!
i don't see my x2 as faster than 280GTX SLi ... "in all the other games at all the resolutions"
I wasn't asking you to. Saying I countered my conclusion twice is a little silly, for posting a link to the conclusion before the benchmarks, and then in your opinion them saying cpu limitations were affecting one benchmark, that still showed the 4870x2 faster than 280 sli ?
I don't need you to support my conclusion, you pointed something out, I stated that in that review the 4870X2 is faster than GTX280 sli in every benchmark except Crysis. You can find a lot of reviews that will show you the same.
If you don't see your X2 as faster than 280 SLI, I suggest you buy another 280 and you'll see for yourself, without someone having to hold your hand through it.
