Rage3D's Alex Voicu has taken a game-performance-led look at ATI's Radeon HD 4870 X2.  The analysis confirms that the product is the fastest single-slot graphics product ever made, and goes into good detail to tell you why.

Radeon HD 4870 is the reference point, and Alex's trials and tribulations in extracting the data make for often hilarious reading.  Good times!

The Crossfire Sideport is discussed, as is the effect that the size of the attached memory pool has on performance (you get 1GiB of GDDR5 per GPU in the product, remember).

Good things definitely come in pairs.  Read the whole article at Rage3D.
