This would probably beat it in everything.
Because I know my two 6850s beat two 460s in a lot of games, so two 6870s would be significantly better.

There is still $150 difference. And 460 2Win overclocks pretty well

there is 1gb per gpu… each 1gb is at double data rate… so in all it should be 4200mhz
i believe that is where the confusion is coming in at least….
also, thats damn cool for a x2 card….. i have 2 4890′s and at max load with 100% fan, one is hitting 86c and the other gets up to 79-80

DDR5 quad pumps for effective, not double
or thats what I’ve been told, I know on newegg when they post the effective for most GDDR5 cards its in the 4000s

don’t you mean quad data rate for effective? It should be 4200MHz for memory
great video though
