But why. You can get a single 6850 for $130 currently in Canada. Versus a 6870 for $200?



coz a 6870 is 20 more than a 6850 :D

and 2000 higher score on 3DMark11 :)

What does 3dmark11 points have to do with it? $70 difference, and $90 if the MIR is taken into account :O

*sigh*

Do you understand the concept of price-to-performance ratio?

$120 for a 6850 outright beats the pulp out of $200 for a 6870

That's double what their price-performance difference in price should be ($40).
