The new products will officially kick NVIDIA from their high-end crown, purely based on performance with a single board. Check Out Weekly PC Game and Xbox Game Deals. The two products will be Radeon HD 4850 X2 and the Radeon HD 4870 X2. Don't forget your OS, we have Windows 11 OEM, 10 OEM, Download and USB versions available. On the other hand, Nvidia delivers the performance but at a steeper price. 2 x DVI 1 x HDMI (via Adapter) 3200 (1600 x 2) Stream Processors. ATI has great price points, but they just can't deliver overpowering performance for that price. giorgioprimoranks null worldwide and null in the hardware class.

Currently, Nvidia and its SLI technology is the performance winner here, on this system, with the drivers and video cards tested. The ideal solution is to go with that 30+ inch monitor you have been lusting over to take advantage of the firepower. To use all this video horsepower, you will need a monitor that runs no less than a 1920x1200 resolution, as anything else means you are just throwing money away. Radeon HD 4870 X2 Crossfire (4CF) If you have the cash for it and have a compatible motherboard, plus >800 watt power supply, you can combine two Radeon HD 4870 X2 cards using CrossFire. That's something that could be a driver fix, to enable better CrossFire support in games. In turn, there were games where there was no scaling whatsoever with cards in CrossFireX, while the SLI combo scaled well. This was the exception, and not the rule. There were a few instances where the scaling on the HD 4850x2 and HD 4870x2 scaled closed to 100% - which was a real surprise. When you look at the scaling in performance you get from going to a quad GPU setup, it is not going to be anywhere near 100% in most cases.
