An Early Peek At AMD's Radeon HD 4870 X2

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the soon-we'll-be-back-to-external-video-cards dept.

Dr. Damage writes "AMD has quite a hit in the Radeon HD 4000 series. Coming up next is a product code-named R700, a high-end graphics card based on two 4870s paired together. TechReport has a preliminary look at how the card — to be called the Radeon HD 4870 X2 — performs. Nvidia could have one heck of a fight on its hands."

    "Nvidia could have one heck of a fight on its hands."

    I have to wonder how much of a fight it will be, in my experience Nvidia's drivers have always been more widely supported by the big games out there and a lot more stable than ATI.

    ATI has had a bad history of buggy drivers, so it's my fervent hope that under AMD's helm this frustration becomes a thing of the past.
