Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe (HD 4870 X2) Review

  "So what's the big deal with the Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe? COOLING!!! The cooling on the reference HD 4870 X2 left much to be desired. Honestly, load temps of over 90C are pretty scary. The highest load temp I saw with the Revolution 700 was a momentary 77C, all the rest of the time the temperature was 74C. An average drop of 25C on idle temp is just as impressive. And all this with the fans at a silent speed.
  
  The output interface is pretty cool too. Someone spending that kind of cash is likely to keep the card for a long time, and the DisplayPort connector, though not yet popular, may come in handy. Not a lot of cards have a HDMI connector, and for those that hate adapters as I do will appreciate the addition of an HDMI port, since HDTVs are becoming very popular as second monitors."

  "The first thing we’ve got to say is the Palit Revolution 700 is a BIG card and while there is a Crossfire connector sitting up on top of that PCB, the chances are you’re not going to be able to use it due to either there being not enough room on your motherboard, or your Crossfire connector not being long enough.
  
  As for performance, well, there isn’t a whole lot to say. The 50MHz bump in memory speed really does nothing for performance. The good news is, however, that the larger cooler, the better cooling and the lower temps at stock are going to make overclocking opportunities greater."
