4870 = ? 9600gt's

[ZeroWing]

I was wondering how many 9600gt's would be the equivalent of a single 4870?

I'd say about 4-5

The 4870 gets approximately double the frame rate, so you could say it is doubly as powerful. However, SLI is inefficient, so you would probably need three in order to get the same frame rates. 4-5 is way off.

Thats just crazy....its closer to 8 or 9

Well if you would read the first post...

There is no purpose, he was just wondering

well seeing as how 2 8800gt's in sli is about the same as a 4870, 2 9600gts would be about 10-15% less than a 4870

umm.. what? I didn't get that part.

haha >.< i meant 2 9600 gt's is about 10-15% less than a 4870... this is what happens when im not paying attention to what i type

Sorry man, I don't want to be the critical douche , I was just guessing based on benchmarks.
