Quote: "There is little room to debate that the new AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2
2GB is the best performing graphics card on the market. By combining the
power of a pair of RV770 GPUs along with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, the R700
design is able to run away from NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280 1GB card handily.
Our various game tests proved this - Crysis, Call of Duty 4 and GRID showed
big gains for AMD's new card at resolutions 2048x1536 and 2560x1600 though
they were minimal at 1600x1200."
