Wow, 2 x 4770 in SLI xfire beating a 4890!?!?!
he Radeon HD 4850 X2 is essentially two Radeon HD 4850s in CrossFire mode on a single card, and it will beat the similarly priced GeForce GTX 280 hands-down. It will even put the hurt on the new, more expensive GeForce GTX 285.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-4770-crossfire,2288.htmlnice little read, men with xfire boards takes notesQuote...a pair of 4770s is able to oust the Radeon HD 4890. Moreover, the 4770s use less power under load, run cooler, and, if our samples were any indication, overclock like mad. Need I even mention the two cards keeping pace with the GTX 280—a $305+ board?

Just read that article. I was mightiliy shocked by the results.Its interesting that ATI has kinda shot itself in the foot with respect tothe 4830, and nearly did so with the 4890.The fact that two of these cards, together, cost less than a GTX 275,and perform JUST AS FAST is even MORE shocking. It would seem that 2 x HD4770 is 'de flick'.

don't forget power consumption + heat output
Of course, it goes without saying that I'll be getting two of these.
LOL...nah. I need to get my paws on a 710/720 BE first.All in due time.
