4870 1 GB, GTX 260, or Dual 9800 GTX in SLI?

[Classified95]

Hey, I was wondering, what's better on a EVGA 750i FTW SLI motherboard, E8400, 4 Gigs Corsair Dominator? A HIS 4870 1 GB, EVGA GTX 260, or Dual EVGA 9800 GTX+ in SLI?

What'd be best in Crysis, Jungle map, Very High, Full AA and AF, 1680 x 1500 Resoulition? Thanks!

I'm going to put my money on the 4870

Advising other people, I`d say:

1. 4870

2. 260

5. SLI

For me, I`d take (out of the choices ofc) :

2. 260

5. SLI

20. 4870

Tho with urself, if u`ve gone to the trouble of buying an SLI mobo, u have to think along the lines of SLI`ing something - otherwize the original choice of an SLI mobo over a P35/P45/X38/X48 was a bad one.

Bump, anyways, I want to know mainly ab out the crysis part.

For Crysis benchmarks on the HD4870 and the GTX 260 look HERE and HERE.

AS for the 9800GTX SLI look HERE.

The motherboard and processor aren't going to make a hell of a difference unless either are a bottleneck.

Ok, I'm getting the EVGA GTX 260, Core 216.

You can lock/delete this if you want.

Should have got the 1GB 4870 mate, out performs 260 in most games and is cheaper

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Like I suggested.. Pitty he didn't take my word for it.. ooh well his loss I guess

 

[Lynx]

Yep coz me and dutch know what we are on about, (even though were some of the youngest)

Cant wait tilll my 1gb HD4870 arrives

the 4870 may outperform the 260, but I doubt it can keep up with the MaxCore with theextra SPs, good choice

I have a 4870 myself, but the choice was tough and if I had to get one now I may well be going back to green as they do seem better than basic 260s. How much did it cost you

 

[Lynx]

Well is going to cost me 200, need to sell my 1gb 8800gt and other stuff i have before i can get it.
