ATI 4870 X2 - Fastest card money can buy?

Seems so at this point. Not looking too good in the news today for NVidia. That is two negative things against them. This X2 is even stomping on dual 280's!

Good question. I don't know at this point.

I will find out. I'm guessing $500.

Thanks for keeping us constantly updated with these specs and comparisons. I wonder how much faster that card is than my old trusty radeon 9800 pro AGP 8x 128 MB.

arseloads faster than your 9800, thats about as accurate i can be bothered to be. The number of generations between these two cards is too qide to really compare them objectively, but if i had to guess the difference in raw power is more then 10x in favor of the new 4870 x2.
