Race Driver GRID Performance
Out of our 7 tests, this is one of the two that favor AMD hardware. Alphabetical order puts the two AMD favoring tests first and last in our performance results.
Again we see about a 10% improvement beyond the GeForce GTX 280 when moving to the GTX 285. This time the GTX 285 leads the 4870 1GB but only be a very little bit. The 4870 X2 trails only GTX 285 SLI at 2560x1600, which is way up there in framerate.

Here, take a look at the power useage:.

There you see the SICKNESS in all it's silicon cooking glory... the 4870x2, the 4850x2 AND the 3870x2 ALL COMSUME MORE POWER THAN THE GTX295(x2) .
Just look at that CRAP.....
.
Now it's time to say WHAT HASN'T BEEN SAID:
.
Since the 4870/4870x2/512/1024/2048 are all on a SMALLER silicon die - and all have a HIGHER core clockspeed, and ALL have mroe electricity surging through them, all causing MORE HEAT ... with those smaller cores FILLED UP WITH DATA and electricity more often at a DENSER level - guess what's coming ? !? !
It's only been 5 months- and SOON - the 4870 monsters - due to ELECTROMIGRATION - are going to start BURNING OUT...
.
YES BURN OUT TIME FOR THE SMALLER ATI CORES IS COMING SOON TO A RIG NEAR YOU !
.
lol - Another gigantic POINT - the raging reds have for 5 months never considered.... never brought up - never talked about...
.
I can HARDLY WAIT till the failures start hitting hard.. in bigger and bigger numbers - it's inevitable.

I really hope that you get curb-stomped. It'd be hilarious to see you
begging for help, and then someone stomps on the back of your head,
leaving you to die in horrible, agonizing pain. *beep*
Shut the *beep* up f aggot, before you get your face bashed in and cut
to ribbons, and your throat slit.

The 4870 uses more power in idle - look at the power charts." No power savings" = 4870
Gosh I am really sick of the lies.
How did you manage to get yourself to spew that out ?
The 285 is lower in idle than a 260 which also beats the 4870.
"no power savings" = deranged redfan.

I still would like to know if the GTX285/295 support Hybrid SLI -> Hybrid Power...Daeros - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
AFIK, the entire GTX2XX line dropped hybrid power. The only cards that support it are the high-end 9XXX cards.sam187 - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
The GTX260/280 also support it:http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.ht...">http://www.nvidia.com/object/hybrid_sli_desktop.ht...

wow, I totally missed that. sorryAberforth - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
man, some of these reviews are getting very generic and boring day by day, you take pictures of a product at different angles and do the number game, maybe it's because the technologies and innovations these days are becoming so forced and profit oriented.GaryJohnson - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
As opposed to the before time or the long long ago when technology was all about mystery and wonder?Aberforth - Thursday, January 15, 2009 - link
