With our ET:QW bench, at 2560x1600, the Core 216 adds enough horse power to pull the NVIDIA card up to a tie with the 4870. Yes, there is a tenth of a frame difference here, but that's well within margin of error.

I'm still holding on to my dual 8800GTX's. I am still surprised how competitive they are against all but the uber high end 280SLI's or 4way Xfire setups. At my native resolution of 1920x1080, they still tear everything up.PSMR - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - link
What about system specs. or drivers that were used?Clauzii - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - link

Ha, that was added after my comment. Wow, good reporting anandtech.BPB - Tuesday, September 16, 2008 - link
I would have liked to seen 4850 in Crossfire since I paid well under $300 for my 2 on sale, and $300 seems to be the price point this article goes after.
