Today my Diamond 4870 512mb came, but to my surprise, it performs little better than my old 3850 256mb. When I try to max out MW2, it lags like crazy and when I optimize settings, it tells me to run the game at 1024x768.

What might be the problem? I have the newest drivers, and I did a PSU calculator, which put me at 308 watts, which my computer should be able to handle
 
Optimized Settings are of no use. Invariably they will set your system to a resolution far lower than what your card can handle. The HD 4870 should be able to comfortably max out Modern Warfare 2 at 1280x1024.

What PSU do you have? Did you uninstall all previous drivers before installing the new ones?
