Legion Hardware has completed a review testing CPU scaling between dual cores and quad cores when using a 4870 X2. Overall, quad cores are better with the 9650 @ 3.60 offering the best performance overall. I have not seen this kind of scaling before and appears that quad cores are more appropriate for this card then dual cores (in some cases). Therefore, if you are wondering what will compliment your 4870 X2 it appears that a 9650 OC at 3.60GHz or better is the best way to go.
