Performance Notes
The gap between the 4870 1GB and a 4850 is startling, unlike the more subtle jump from 512MB 4870 to 1GB 4870. It finally competes against the GTX 260 and 280, and shows no weaknesses with these DX10 titles, not the least of which is Crysis, but doesn't showcase the framebuffer at these levels; it wants to play at higher resolutions or with more antialiasing. Still, the apples-to-apples reads that the GTX competition is considerable.
