as above-what would be better?
Two 4850's would outperform a GTX280.

Click on "Multi-GPU" under the 4850 picture and then click "Show Dual-Card Specs"
STOP!
Are you kidding me?
The GTX 280 performs about the same or better in most apps than 4870s in crossfire! Two 4850s....the GTX 280 will crush it! There is only like 3 games two 4850s perform better than one GTX 280....The Lost Planet.....who plays that?
If you can not take 3 minutes and do a little research and give somebody the best advice.....DO NOT POST!
You can get the new HD 4870 1 Gb card for around $300 or so and its vista 1920 X 1200 or higher res. price/performance is excellant
4870X2 is currently the fastest card out there, and yes it does outperform the 280, which leads me to believe that two 4870s in crossifre would outperform the 280 as well. 4850x2... not sure, I wouldn't think it beats a GTX280 but I'm sure it gets close.The GTX 280 performs about the same or better in most apps than 4870s in crossfire!

the 2x4850 would be noticeably better, but with most current games you'll max out with either of the choices.
