X3: Terran Conflict:

X³: Terran Conflict is a brand new, stand-alone game set in the universe of X³. It is the culmination of the X trilogy, with a grand finale that takes us all the way back to Earth's own solar system. Gamers can take on the roles of different characters in the X universe, or of a Terran military pilot, and experience a multitude of stories in the largest X universe ever featured - for X³: Terran Conflict will offer more missions than any other X game before.

For the all testing, the settings were completely maxed out, running at 2560x1600 at max AA and AF:

4890 2GB 62.7 85.0 82.6 44.6
5770 58.0 68.5 63.5 30.4
4870X2 63.0 112.1 137.3 68.3
5870 62.6 108.3 114.9 52.8

In the X3 test, the HD4870X2 beat the HD5870 in all four tests, by 0.6%, 3.5%, 19.5% and 29.35% respectively.  This is very surprising considering the HD5870's advantage in clock speeds, and being a native single chip.  Looks like those things we hear about Crossfire scaling may just be dead wrong.
