information,go read tom,s hardware(the most trusted site for PC reviews)and anantech.com reviews about the 4800 series you will see that the 4850 beats 9800GTX and in a par or littel faster than 9800GTX+.
and you will find that 4870(299$) beats the gtx260(399$).
the guys at fudzilla and gamespot are idiots.

Even though the above post is a little fanboyish, I can't help but agree with his recommendation. Tom's Hardware, Anandtech, and Hexus are all much better at reviewing new technology than Fudzilla.

The 4850 really is beating or on par with the 9800 GTX+ in every bench mark while the 4870 is beating the GTX 260.

AMD has some really great cards out this time around, I bought one of each :).

Xwow20085821d ago

i didn,t meant to be fanboy but i hate when people lie or hide the truth.
also i will buy the 4870 x2 :) for the ultimate porformance, and i want to see the battle between 4870 x2 and gtx 280 it will be intersting.

Kakkoii5821d ago

Why the hell is everyone using 9800GTX+ in their comments for reviews lately?

The f*cking 9800GTX+ isn't out for a few weeks still. There's no way you can use it in comparisons yet.

And BTW! You can get a 9800GTX for $200 now. That's 100$ less than a 4870, and only a little less performance.

SaiyanFury5821d ago

I just bought a 9800 GTX KO card from eVGA for 210 US dollars. I'm sure I'll be happy with it since I'm upgrading from 2 7950GTs in SLI. I don't know about ATi's prices for the 4870 but I was pleased with the price of a competitive card for a mere slight above 200 bucks.

GIJeff5820d ago

FACT: the 4850 is competitive, and much better than the 9800GTX, and costs 180-200.

FACT: the 4870 is competitive, and often shows better than the 260, and costs 299.

FACT: AMD has definately owned the Price/Performance with these new cards.

this card beats gtx260 and in some tests even gtx280
the price of this is really nice compared to gtx200 cards.
on performance/price ati wins by a large margin.

the market needs to go this way of cheaper cards with great performance if they want pc gaming alive.

bumnut5821d ago

seen one of these on ebuyer for £179 with ddr5 running at 3.6 ghz

awesome value

THE_BATTLERAGER5821d ago

are horrible, why would you bench the 9800gtx versus the 4870, we already know that it beats the gt260. Simple logic.

Also their benchmark graphs are ALOT harder to make sense of.

Kakkoii5821d ago

They did a full scale test. Why not? It allows a person to see results of many cards grouped together. They didn't do JUST the 9800GTX's..

Xemnas5821d ago

Man you got to love the Pc world every 2 weeks a new video card or something come out being better then the $600 card you just got:)( time to upgrade agian o_O)

No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.

TheColbertinator421d ago

Crysis blew my mind back then and still kinda does.

bunt-custardly421d ago

Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya493d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled492d ago (Edited 492d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney492d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled492d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist492d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin492d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled492d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE492d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi492d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE492d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
