Can two midranges make a high end?
On the one hand, for around $300 you can pick up the HD 4850 X2 1GB card. On the other hand is the HD 4870 1GB model, which costs about $50 less now, and could soon dip under $200. The prices on both cards are going to fall eventually, but for those who want a card now, that means very little. Visit [H]ard|OCP for a look at how these two cards, and a GTX 260, compare in performance in the hottest current games, and then decide which one deserves to be brought home with you.
