Radeon 4870 X2

I also heard that clocks of 1Ghz on the core will be possible to achieve with the watercooling that comes with it standard! My guess is that won't cost that much money either.
 
Wow, going to priced approximately $499 (£251) .. totally amazing. Burning Nvidia and at the best price .. why are the 4870s priced at around £230? Would have guessed they'd have been a little less.
 
..beats Nvidia's GTX 280?
Hell yes! Even the $300 HD 4870 beats the GTX 280 on numerous occasions. (Bioshock, Race driver: GRID, Assassin's Creed, COD4...) On average, it's 10% slower than the 280 for less than half the price.
The HD 4870 prices are inflated ATM, I would imagine they'd drop to around £175 very soon when GDDR5 production gets going and Samsung and Hynix start supplying.
