I dont really see why they made this card,,,is it meant to fill in the gap between the 4870 and 4870X2?

I don't see why ATi made some of the cards out lately. HD4830.. 4850x2.. 4670.. I don't even know the model numbers anymore, there are so many... The 4850 is dirt cheap as it is, and it's a great card for any setup under 1920x1200.. and the HD4870 is amazing, for only $250 or less. The HD 4870x2 is the best card out.. and there's not much gap in between. Coming from a former owner of the HD 4870, and now an owner of the HD 4870x2.. there isn't much of a gap between these two. Perhaps, if they introduce the HD 4850x2 at an absolute steal of a price tag, then it might be a worthy introduction. But first, we'll have to see how it performs..

4850 CF. Meaning it'll beat GTX 280, tie, or lose in some games.
