Speed Differences

[Azphira]

If the 4870x2 2gb is 100% speed, what in your opinions, percent is the 4870 512mb in crossfire?

Asking because $170 to go crossfire is alot tastier than $409 for the x2.

My only concern is the lack of memory, then again the only game complaining about memory is GTAIV. And I have that in the screaming red with no hitching.

i'm guessing 90-95%

The 4870x2 is a much better choice. Easier setup, less heat more memory, less pins for PSU
