Unboxing XFX 4870 1 GB

[ubuntu83]

I don't know what kinda biased review that is...but ill let my comparison do the talking..check the benchmark thread for proof. 1080p 4xAA, 16xAF

Crysis Warhead --- 4890 CF = Min 20, Max 30
---------------- GTX 260 OC = Min 14, Max 26

Far Cry 2------ 4890 CF = Min 55, Max 78.4
-------------- GTX 260 OC = Min 26, Max 85

GRID ---------- 4890 CF = Min 80, Max 142
--------------GTX 260 OC = Min 79, Max 129

Bro you are misquoting the average as the max.

P.S : Xbitlabs along with AT and techpowerup and the likes are one of the most trusted sites around.

Here is their testing methodology in the mentioned review:

The graphics card drivers were configured in the same way as before: to provide the highest possible quality of texture filtering and to minimize the effect of default software optimizations. As a result, our ATI catalyst and Nvidia GeForce driver settings looked as follows:

Nvidia GeForce:

• Texture filtering – Quality: High quality
• Texture filtering – Trilinear optimization: Off
• Texture filtering – Anisotropic sample optimization: Off
• Vertical sync: Force off
• Antialiasing - Gamma correction: On
• Antialiasing - Transparency: Multisampling
• Multi-display mixed-GPU acceleration: Multiple display performance mode
• Set PhysX GPU acceleration: Enabled
• Other settings: default

ATI Catalyst:

• Smoothvision HD: Anti-Aliasing: Use application settings/Box Filter
• Catalyst A.I.: Standard
• Mipmap Detail Level: High Quality
• Wait for vertical refresh: Always Off
• Enable Adaptive Anti-Aliasing: On/Quality
• Other settings: default

@ubuntu83.... I don't get it. So they are showing Min and Avg fps rather than min and max? That doesn't change anything...as anyone who plays games would know that the minimum fps are the most important values. Anyway.... CF is amazing when it works...it has proven to scale better than SLI anyway.
