Scores P12741 in 3DMark Vantage

Our colleagues from VR-Zone managed to get their hands on Sapphire's HD 4850 X2 card and the card scores some decent numbers. This large behemoth that comes with four DVI connectors on its backplate works at 625MHz for the core's and 1,000MHz for 1GB, 512MB for each GPU, of GDDR3 memory.

The card scores P12741 in 3DMark Vantage with performance settings and X5729 in 3DMark Vantage with extreme settings. The testing was done on Intel's Core i7/X58 platform. Guys from VR-Zone also did some Crysis Warhead testing and the card gives an average of 16.46 frames per second at 2560x1600 without AA.

The card scores great, considering the fact that it has two RV770Pro GPUs on the same PCB, and it definitely looks great.

You can find the scores and screenshots here.
