AMD has done a great job with the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and it has snatched the crown for the fastest graphics card in the world back from Nvidia in the process. Like we’ve said though, it’s not all rosy and there are drawbacks associated with buying a Radeon HD 4870 X2, just like there are with any other multi-GPU configuration. As long as you’re prepared to accept them, then the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is well worth considering if you’ve got that kind of cash to throw around.

The GeForce GTX 280’s new price point makes it seem like an attractive buy as well, with cards starting anywhere from about £275 including VAT. If anything though, the Radeon HD 4870 X2 makes a single Radeon HD 4870 or GeForce GTX 260 look like better options [i]today[/i] because it’s almost as if there’s too much horsepower on tap here with AMD’s new flagship card.
