    @ozpc123

    Nah I meant ridiculously noisy, as well running a lot hotter than the 250.

    I See what you mean, but I solved this problem with riva tuner.

    @Spandl Wrong HD3870~HD4830= 8800GT~9800GT
    9800GTX= HD4850
    HD4870= GTX 260

    There are a few frame rate differents between cards but its as close as it gets

  4. Spandl says:

    @has22fas Seems to be true, but there's not that big difference between 9800GTX and GT, you sure that the 9800GT is as fast as an 8800GT?

    And the HD 3870 seems to be as fast as a HD 5670, because in test with same processor, same RAM and same OS, there's nearly no difference between these two. So a HD 5670 is slower than a 9800GTX or a HD 5670? Sounds strange :P

  5. Spandl says:

    @has22fas eh HD 5670 slower than a 9800GTX and HD 4850 I mean^^

  6. has22fas says:

    @Spandl Correct the HD4850 is same as HD5750.
    The HD5670~HD4830~HD3870=9800GT~8800GT
    9800gt is a 8800GT with a smaller die only 2fps or no fps difference hope this helps

    @arvutihull – Only in games/benchmarks where Crossfire isn't supported.

  10. Sieberliebangbang says:

    I have 2 x ati radeon 4870. but i want 2 x ati radeon 4870×2. I have 750 watts of power. Can is just remove the 4870 and replace it with 4870×2 Or do i need some extra things in order to install it properly? HELP PLEASE :(

  11. arvutihull says:

    @Sieberliebangbang – You need to have a good enough power supply to run two 4870 X2s.

  12. Sieberliebangbang says:

    @arvutihull I have max 750 watt power suply. is taht ebough?

  13. arvutihull says:

    @Sieberliebangbang - No.

  14. temna11 says:

    @Sieberliebangbang i think that should be enough since the amds website says you need 600 watt psu for crossfire…lol i ran 2 6970s with a 750 and it was ok :P

  15. MidKniqhtx says:

    @Sieberliebangbang It could be tbh depends what else you've got attached to your motherboard.

  16. Seabound07 says:

    @arvutihull how about a 1200 watt?

  17. arvutihull says:

    @Seabound07 – Probably enough but if you tell me what 1200W PSU it is exactly I can say if it is enough or not.

  18. gazzxr says:

    @arvutihull wtf you talking about 700 wat PSU is more than enough

  19. arvutihull says:

    @gazzxr – No it is not enough.

  20. gabrocki says:

    @arvutihull would this card beat a hd6970?

  21. arvutihull says:

    @gabrocki - No, 6970 is faster.

  22. gabrocki says:

    @arvutihull uhh… aaaand a 6870?:D

  23. arvutihull says:

    @gabrocki – 4870 X2 is faster than 6870, no DX11 though.

  24. gabrocki says:

    @arvutihull yeah i know. illl get a DX11 card, i was just wondering… thanks!
