AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB Preview


Mon 2008-07-21 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan
Guru3D has posted a preview of the highly anticipated Radeon HD 4870 X2 2048MB graphics card.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Once the R700 arrived I spent a complete day with it just to test and see how many problems we'd run into. Fact is, I had close to none. A lot of games that where not shown in this preview due to an enforced limitation, ran all really well. I mean, two weeks ago we published a Crossfire review and stumbled into some issues with for example Frontlines: Fuel of War, with the X2 it worked flawlessly.

[…]

So with that being said, I'm ending this preview for now ... My experiences with the card have been really good, the performance is flabbergasting. If priced right, this is the new king in the high-end arena of graphics cards. I'm impressed, really impressed. And that's a hard thing for a company to achieve.”


The HD 4870 X2 packs a mean punch, and AMD is definitely going to claim the performance crown…but at what price? I guess we’ll find out in mid-August.
