Quite contrary to my co-blogger’s opinion below; the 4870 x2 is simply fantastic (despite poor driver and game support as of this moment.). It is the single fastest card money can buy, yes, faster than nv’s gtx 280
by 25% on regular resolutions and up to 51% on high res. cite: TomsHardwareGuide. nVidias bumbling mammoth-sized GPUs have been beaten by ATi’s fast and agile multi-GPU solution. Way to go AMD! In other news, nvidia’s G84/G86 chips are apparently ALLLLLL defective regardless whether it is a desktop or laptop. This defect sure is kicking nvidia in the crotch. Much like the old man with the football to the groin (simpsons), nvidia can do nothing except shrivel up in the fetal position on the ground and take deep breaths. . I wanted to include a photo of hans moleman getting nailed in the groin by a footbal; but couldnt find the photo in 30secs so settled with someone getting kicked in the groin.
