3DMark Vantage: 
3DMark® Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware. 3DMark® Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft. 3DMark Vantage can also test your video card in several different ways. For the purposes of our bench, we will be testing with the Performance, High, and Extreme Presets. Here are our results: Vantage Performance:
In this test, the HD5870 beats out the HD4870X2 by nearly 300 points, building a 1.67% lead. Vantage High:
For the High Preset, the 5870 takes an impressive 8.2% lead over the 4870X2. This is nearly double the HD5770, so everything is scaling pretty nice so far. Vantage Extreme:
In the Extreme preset, the HD5870 beats out the 4870X2 by 7.4%, not bad at all. It also beats out the 5770 by nearly 4,000 points. 3DMark06:
I will be using Version 1.1.0 professional. The free downloadable version can be found here.
In 3DMark06, the HD5870 actually lost to the HD4870X2 by 164 points, or 0.65%. I would say this is pretty well within the margin of error and call this a tie. Both scored around 7500 points higher than the 5770. The Other 3DMarks:
In '05, the 4870X2 pulls ahead again, this time by 2072 points, or 6.4%.
In '03, the 4870X2 beats the 5870 by 8,918 points or 10.6%, which I find strange since older benches are usually not kind to Crossfire/SLI setups.
In the classic 3DMark01, the 5870 pulls out a win, beating the 4870X2 by 8763 points, or 16.2%. I think for the Futuremark tests, it is safe to call it a draw.
