ATI Radeon HD 4850 In Crossfire at 4GHz

Topic:

Tweaktown tested the ATI Radeon HD 4850 in Crossfire at 4GHz.

Quote from the review: "Back to IBuyPower Australia we go. We have intentions of letting the HD 4850s really shine in the 4GHz Q9650 beast that we’re becoming quite accustomed to using. Later today we will be posting our Sapphire HD 4850 review from our own testbed. For that reason we won't be going into details on the cards here. What we will do is have a quick look the setup and get straight into these benchmarks. Read more

Topic:

Tweaktown takes a closer look at the HD 3870 in Crossfire versus the new HD 3870 X2.

Topic:

Tweaktown compares the Crossfire HD 2900 XT with the NVidia 8800 Ultra

Quote from the review:
" The top dog for anyone wanting to go the NVIDIA route is the 8800 Ultra, it’s a fast card but it doesn’t exactly scream performance-to-cost ratio. With pricing that starts around $600US to $700US, they’re certainly not cheap. Read more

Topic:

Supposedly one single NVIDIA 8800 GTX is faster than a pair of ATI X1950 XTX’s in CrossFire mode so sayuth The Inq. Sure you have to take things you read at The Inq with a grain of salt.

That said the sometimes accurate guys at The Inquirer are claiming that in Battlefield 2142 one single 8800 GTX can muster minimum frame rates of 100 fps at 1600x1200 with all effects on. Read more
