 | Re: Graphics card Rankings save for 2x 4870x2! That way if it doesn't live up to expectations you can grab yourself anything else!

| Re: Graphics card Rankings PhysX (spelled with an X) = Ageia = Nvidia not the same thing as Havoc Physics. But anyway... where did you hear it'd be 9x faster?

| Re: Graphics card Rankings someone add 9800gtx+ please. I would say maybe a little infront of the 4850.

| Re: Graphics card Rankings I'd put it below the 4850... Even if they were equal (which they aren't according to Anandtech, the 4850 beats the 9800gtx+ in frames on average) I would have to give it to the 4850 because its smaller, cheaper, and uses less power which is the only deciding factor when performance is equal.
