Actuall, most every review I have read said it would be the best card out there even if the price was another $100 higher.

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Yup, it even outpaces the HD 4890: GTX275 Review

 

[foothead]

The 4850x2 card is as fast as the GTX 285.

Linky?

 

[foothead]

Not really sure.
I read that in a review a while back.
I will try though.
Hey it is 512 bit...

 

[Atomic Rooster]

Link or it never happened.

 

[foothead]

Yup.
It was mentioned a lot in some forums but the linky was dead.
some people say one way, others say the other.
The only ones who backed it up in any way were the ones arguing for the x2.

This is the only familiar review of it I could find.

Providing links to support proof that the 275 is better than than the 4850x2 is like providing link to the Bible - You knew it was there and true all along.

i'd say this is pretty conclusive.
