COMMENT - "After the great result shown so far by the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 this result comes as a big surprise. The Gainward Radeon HD 4870 outperforms the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 by 34% to 51%. I think the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 is performing like a single Radeon HD 4850 so maybe new drivers will deliver faster performance with Dead Space."
