ok lets do it then.. we have to transform it in 182.9 base so:
100/182.9 *100 = 54.6 => 280 has 45.4% more muscle than 3870
next is 4850:
131.9/182.9 * 100 = 72.1 => 280 has 27.9% more muscle than 4850
comparing 4850 and 3870 in base 131.9(4850 base)
100/131.9 * 100 = 75.8 => 4850 has 24.2% more muscle that 3870
GTX280 >> 4850 than 4850 > 3870 your point is correct but not really acurate because we have to utilise or 260 GTX or 4870 that woult be only fair.

They're just doing what NV & AMD did with their respective propaganda. Taking a baseline as the 3870 & using the other cards as a 100+ percentile over that. It doesn't work unless you use each card as a baseline & then work a percentile scale for the other cards. Trying to compare the 4850 & GTX280 from the 3870 only works in dunt-da-dunt land.

I am not doing anything. I'm just correcting a conception that is inevitably wrong. As I said in the above 100 is 100% more or double of 50, 50 is 50% of 100 and/or 50% less than 100 too, 100 is NOT 50% more than 50, that's 75. Period.

Performance and scaling in Crysis is poor. Don't expect much to run it.Interesting test report. Here's a summary:
3./ STILL cannot play crysis at 1920x1600. OMG what's wrong with that game? LOL
If they had done what they said they were going to do, Crysis would have been fine.
Crysis does not run on computers 3 years old. It barely runs on computers that are 3 days old.
I could put my settings on 800x600, no AA, everything low, and i would still get lag in multiplayer, with an 8800GTX and an overclocked Quad core. They failed to deliver on performance scaling and that was it's biggest downfall, because hardly anyone could play it, or would put up with the terrible frame rates with no second option.
I made this sarcastic picture to send to a friend back when the BETA was on. It still holds true today:
Not yet. I would say that the smarthest thing is to wait till August till the 4870x2 gets out and then decide.Those cards are cheap enough. Go ahead and buy 2 or 3 guys

it seems like this will definetly be the cad to buy at 200$ we'll see how the 4870 come in on price/performance but thus far from what I'm seeing we finally have something that beats the 8800gt in that category.

8800 GT is a lot cheaper AFAIK. The price is more on the line of the GTS, this one being overpriced due to the lack of compentence. They will come down, while I would expect Radeon prices to go up. It's a better buy at $200 anyway if only because of the power consumption and noise. Temps are way too high on the other hand, hopefully fan speeds can be turned up easily.
