GTX 280 vs 4870 Crossfire

[Asus]

I found this comparison a little interesting.

$620 Nvidia GTX 280 or 2 ATI HD 4870's for $620 total.

Performance in Crysis and AC
COD4, ETQW, HL2EP2 and FEAR

For the most part 2x 4870's perform better than a GTX280.

Pros:
Better performance

Cons:
Need board with two 16x PCI Express slots and an Intel or AMD(ATI) chipset for Crossfire support
More power and heat

Wow, that's great to see. Maybe that will force Nvidia's prices down?
