Radeon HD 4870 X2 preview -- R700 -- Guru3D.com

guru3d.com — You take a large PCB (printed circuit board), slap two 4870 processors and a bridge-chip on there and call it a Radeon 4870 X2. It's surely not the most elegant method of getting a graphics card in the high-end segment, it is however as this preview will show you, a very effective one.

  • mike06303, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3That's what I call revenge for all the nvidiot out there who where fooled by the high prices that nvidia set as standard in there so called "high-end graphic cards". Now ATI is back and I'm sure that as customers we'll receive from now on the best prices and a lot of high-end gaming fun. Thanks ATI...
  • IDiggDrSiN, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Looking good.
  • metalica77, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2In Mass effect the gx2 scales amazingly well vs. the regular 4870's in crossfire.
  • TriggerHappyGTR, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3Dude that card is the *****!
  • Indybird, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1A great review (as always) on a insane graphics card. Can't wait until its out.
  • goitalone, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1ATI rules once again!
  • comeradealexi, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2Awesome!
  • Xomps, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Now, lets wait what nVidia comes with :)
    This is a kick-ass card!!
  • ramenian, on 07/22/2008, -0/+0Great article =)
  • KarstenL, on 08/08/2008, -0/+0I am so glad to see Nvidia getting kicked in the pants. They played fast and lose with prices once the competition was removed. I run a 8800GTX sli setup right now, but just couldn't justify spending over $600 on a single card solution. Just not real!
    Well guess what... my money for the upgrade will go to ATI/AMD this time around, if for nothing else to keep the competition alive and well!
  • rapier07, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0A great review. A Geforce buster if you ask me.
  • TheOtherOption, on 07/25/2008, -0/+0Excellent preview - great looking card !!
  • furnaps, on 08/02/2008, -0/+0Damn I am a green team man Myself but with ATI's recent releases I have to say If I had the money I would be switching sides FAST...

    Come on team green what are you waiting for give me something that can whoop team red so I feel better about having Nvidia cards..
  • CoupeD, on 07/30/2008, -0/+0Top notch!
  • wizyy, on 07/23/2008, -0/+0AMD user from 386 processors, and ATI from Radeon 9000 series... Just glad to see the REAL performer here!
    Now it's the time for aggressive marketing campaign, show those people that there ARE better cards than Nvidia!
    There are some people who DON'T EVEN KNOW ATI cards exist (no kidding)!
