Considering this awesomeness (and ignoring my distrust of sapphire tech) would 2x 4850s be better than 1 4870?

Wow, I posted this last night when I was about to crash, and can't believe I did the title like that and didn't notice. Can't edit now.

I don't know. I have no experience with Sapphire, so I would look around at the newegg reviews for a lot of their other cards.

Also, one of the links I posted eariler, I think it was a review of the new X2 card preview, had a bunch of benchmarks that included both single and crossfire 4850 and 4870, as well as 280 and 280 sli.

Will see if I can find it.

Edit:

Look at the 4 reviews midway down the post here:

They will give you an idea of what CF would do. Problem is the benchmarks were limited by ATI since it was just a very early preview. THey only allowed the reviewers to a couple games apiece. So you need to look at all the reviews to see different games.
