The Radeon HD 4850 & 4870: AMD Wins at $199 and $299

Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty 4 shows the Radeon HD 4870 outperforming the Geforce GTX 260, despite being priced $100 more than AMD's offering. What's interesting is that while at 1920 x 1200 the Radeon HD 4870 is nearly 11% faster than the GTX 260, the two perform the same at 2560 x 1600. It's not a memory bandwidth limitation since the 4870 has tons of it, so it looks like we're running into some sort of a processing power limitation.
The 4870 also nips at the heels of the GeForce GTX 280, but it cannot catch up to the performance offered by two GeForce 8800 GTs in SLI thanks to excellent SLI scaling here. As we've already seen, the Radeon HD 4850 is not only faster than the GeForce 9800 GTX but also the new 55nm GeForce 9800 GTX+.

Then include SLI for the 280... let the consumer care about what the value is or isn't, we all value different things. Provide the costs and the performance (SLI) please.Its make this very incomplete to not have included SLI for the 280/260, I for one will more then likely get 2 x GTX280's not all of us worry about a few $$, but if the CF 4870's are that good, then I want to know as I don’t care about the brand and will go with the best performance.
Can you please include them soon so we can make our own judgements on what's good or not?

I've added the GTX 280 SLI numbers to all of the bar charts in the Multi-GPU section, enjoy :)Note, I didn't add them to the line graphs simply because we didn't have data for 280 SLI at lower resolutions. It only really makes sense at 2560 x 1600 anyways so this shouldn't be an issue.
Take care,
Anand
