OP OP S Sonofjohn Baseband Member Messages 30 Nov 30, 2008 #22 So crossfired 4870's would be more efficient than a 4870x2?

NosBoost300 I poop on the rug Messages 10,220 Location Bellflower, CA Nov 30, 2008 #24 i think the 4870x2 performance slightly better due to less latency when communicating within cores

A 4870x2 would surpass 2 4870s because the bridge between the cards is unnecessary as the 4870x2 has 2 cores on a card?

Ahh, thank you for the confirmation. The 4870x2 is the best of the best right now. What is to come in the future? I also heard that the nvidia 260 can be clocked to meet 280 retail speeds. Is this true?

Ahh very well... Personally I don't care much for Counter Strike. I prefer the other HL2 mods like TF2 much more.
