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."

    Trounced for sure and two weeks later Nvidia will develop their ATI killer and we'll all toss our $500+ Radeon HD 4000's in the garbage and upgrade, only to discover ATI brings their revolutionary 4200 out a couple weeks after that which kills Nvidia but by then we all discover we have to upgrade our monitors to holographic projectors because thats the only thing that'll handle the retina burning refresh rates.

    Trounced is a strong word for performance, you only trounce the competition if you can wallop them with performance AND price and I doubt this will fit most people's budget for a while.
