GTX 280 SLI VS 5850 Crossfire VS 5870 Crossfire

[Darkstar757]

I currently have two GTX 280s and I have the upgrade bug. How much of an improvement would I see?

The real question is, what is SLI 280 not doing for you right now.

haha! yes, my first thought too.

It would stack up average probably....

gtx280 sli = 100%
hd5850 cf = 125%
hd5870 cf = 145%

Unless you're at 1920 8xaa or 2560 8xaa, then those percentages would increase in favor of the ati cards, since they handle high res and high AA so well.
