2. I think 4870 X2 is supposed to perform better than crossfired 4870's. Though that remains to be seen.

| Re: The Next-Gen Review Thread! yeah, also people don't have to have good crossfire boards to run them, for example a P35 or nvidia chipset.

| Re: The Next-Gen Review Thread! I heard it's got something to do with the fact that crossfire is done in hardware, and that it looks like a single GPU to the system.

| Re: The Next-Gen Review Thread! wow the 4870x2 looks like it will be a great card. I just hope they don't put the price high. A good move would be it around $350. Which i don't think will happen.
