AMD Launches World’s Fastest Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD4870 X2
(21 votes)

AMD today announced the release of the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2, advancing visual computing ever closer to “eye-def” gaming and cinematic experiences and delivering a whopping 2.4 teraFLOPS of processing power. Also announced today is the ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics card, delivering blistering performance at a compelling price point.


These cards comprise the ATI Radeon HD 4800 X2 series, combining two ATI Radeon HD 4800 series GPUs with a more advanced cross-GPU connection based on the PCIe 2.0 standard, plus 2GB of memory – the most in any currently available consumer graphics card. The GPUs are based on a second generation 55nm technology and clocked at 750 MHz, with a combined 1600 stream processors.


The ATI Radeon HD 4800 X2 series provides support for ATI CrossFireX™, enabling incredibly fast gaming PCs with unmatched performance at ultra-high settings.  Enthusiast gamers can now run the most demanding games smoothly in at the highest settings.  With the efficient use of all four GPUs in a dual ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 CrossFireX configuration, gamers will enjoy more than 3 times the performance of a single ATI Radeon HD 4870 card in many games.

The ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 is immediately available from retailers worldwide priced at a SRP of USD $549 (RM1,800+), while the ATI Radeon HD 4850X2 is scheduled to be available in September at an estimated price of USD $399 (RM1300+).

'pretty' high scores but since they used 256-bit architecture,it's still considered as a slow couch.it won't beat gtx 280x2(if it ever comes out)nvidia has yet to adopt gddr4&gddr5 technology.after all,who could resist the best bang-for-buck rite?laughing-smiley

Some loves Nvidia bcoz the graphic are superb and realistic, some love ATI bcoz they are high performance and much cheaper than Nvidia.....But this RD4870X2 is much kicking than the GTX280 but in certain games only.....I saw they doing benchmarking for comparing which card is better ,for RD4870 the result is much better than GTX280 but in some game GTX280 score point is higher than RD4870......But for me i still love nvidia....
