The other thing is that if you’re not running a PCI Express 2.0 motherboard you can’t unlock the full potential of the X2; initial results show some decent gains for the X2 when moving to a PCI-E 2.0 motherboard.

I would not buy two ATI hd4870 X2 cards cuz its doesnt give reasonable improve of performance. Hers link to test with single gt 280, hd4870, hd4850, hd4870 x2, double hd4870, hd4850 and hd4870 x2 (quadfire).

compare results to cost and use energy quadfire (two hd4870 x2 cards) doesnt worth buy.

and some test of cards:

he is buying 1 4870x2
if you look at other games in your link its the other way around and 4870x2 is the overal better card if im not mistaken.
also i dont understand why the 280 is doing so well there.

if you look at this , the 280 is nowhere

and they didnt test it at your site, would it make the 4870x2 look to good?
