ATI Radeon HD4870X2 Engineering Sample Benchmarked Techreport gets a chance to play around with an engineering sample of the HD4870X2 and run it through a few benchmarks, Half Life 2, Grid, Crysis and other games are used. Quote:
in performance/watt the GTX 280 has an huge lead! GTX 280 299W vs HD4870X2 436W in noise charts also very big nod to the GTX 280 GTX 280 ~46dBA vs HD4870X2 ~52dBA temperatures matter? Not always, depends on the cooling, but seeing as HD4870X2 needs loud fans to kept cool the GPU temps are important if you want to get it cool and quiet. Here the ATI fails... noticeably GTX 280 76°C vs HD4870X2 91°C with the HD4870X2 set to cost more than a single GTX 280 and CF/SLI scaling not always being was it is supposed to be... if you want high end, you might be better of with a single GTX 280, especially if power consumption and noise are important factors for your purchase choice.

previews are sanctioned by AMD, let's hope different sites pick different benchmarks for the sake of making it interesting Quote:
Grid at 2560x1600 4xAA really loves the HD4870X2 |
If you check out the HardOCP preview's benchmarks, they notice that even though it performs worse in fps, but since the X2 has "free" AA, you could actually get superior image quality. If AMD can fix the scaling on Crysis (nVidia needs to look at this too: a 27% increase from a second $400+ card is just sad), it'll just dominate in that game. |
