Good evening, Today Neoseeker reviews the Palit HD 4870 X2. "With the HD 4850, HD 4870, and now the HD 4870X2, ATI has achieved the equivalent of the Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing here. This line-up really throws a challenge towards NVIDIA, and bodes well for further competition between these two companies. The only drawback to this video card is at the moment, it offers perhaps too much raw GPU power for the game's of today to effectively handle. But of course, that is not really a drawback at all."

THIS SHOULD BE fairly painless. We've already previewed the Radeon HD 4870 X2 for you, and today that card is becoming official and available for purchase. To mark the occasion, we've wrangled not one but two of these dual-GPU monsters and paired them up via CrossFire. We've also assembled a killer's row of GeForce GTX cards for a comprehensive look at the next generation of multi-GPU madness. Can we set a new record for power draw at the wall socket? Oh, I think you know we can. http://techreport.com/articles.x/15293 Thanks, Scott __ Scott Wasson The Tech Report PC Hardware Explored http://techreport.com -- To unsubscribe from: TR-News, just follow this link:

AMD Radeon HD 4870 X2 & X2 Crossfire <http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-4870-x2-review-crossfire/>'>http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-4870-x2-review-crossfire/> It's that time, AMD today unleashes their all new high-end product, the Radeon 4850 and 4870 X2. For those of you who lived under a rock and do not know what the X2 actually stands for, it's as simple as it sounds. X2 is times two .. these products are based on multiple GPUs per graphics card. In essence you take a large PCB (printed circuit board), position two 4850 or 4870 processors with an interconnect bridge-chip, grab a handful of memory chips, and then a pinch of resistors and mosfets. You put it in the pan, stir it and voilla ... your serving is ready. Wanna see how fast the fastest performing graphics card in the worlds is ? Of course you do .. We'll also test the 4870 X2 card in Crossfire.

Hi all, We've just posted a review of AMD's latest dual-GPU graphics card, the ultra-powerful HD 4870 X2. It's so powerful, it puts the recently-released NVIDIA GTX 280 to shame, with increases of 27% - 70% in our real-world benchmarks. Title: Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 1GB - AMD Reclaims GPU Supremacy ( -at -) Techgage Link: http://techgage.com/article/palit_radeon_hd_4870_x2_1gb_-_amd_reclaims_gpu_supremacy/ Quote: AMD has gone too long without a real high-end graphics card to compete with the competition, but they're done with the pity, and prove it with the HD 4870 X2, which becomes the fastest graphics card the planet has ever seen. It may cost more than the competition, but its end performance easily negates that premium.

Today we have the opportunity to test the card in its shipping form with a driver which is much closer to the version consumers will receive. We will be running the card through a selection of the latest and greatest games at resolutions up to 2560x1600 as well as testing Blu-Ray acceleration and CrossFireX performance. The big question that needs answered ..... are ATI back at the top of their game? http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=607 DriverHeaven and GamingHeaven News Mailer

Hello, ATI HD4870X2 vs NVIDIA GTX 280 - High-End VGA Comparison "ATI launches their high end single VGA card today, the HD4870X2 is compared to NVIDIA top offering in this review using 8 different games to see which ones comes out on top. Read on to find out!" http://www.madshrimps.be/gotoartik.php?articID=864 ____________________________________________________ Thank you in advance for posting,

Hello Everyone, The Radeon HD 4800 series didn't exactly overwhelm NVIDIA's GTX 200 series with raw performance. In fact, the GeForce GTX 280 and 9800 GX2 were more powerful than the Radeon HD 4870. The Radeon HD 4800 series cards, however, were still excellent cards and they were offered at extremely competitive prices, which put significant pressure on NVIDA. At the time of their launch, the Radeon HD 4850 and Radeon HD 4870 were both less expensive and more powerful than the GeForce 9800 GTX and GeForce GTX 260, respectively. Since then, NVIDIA has reacted with a quick round of price cuts. While enthusiasts were contemplating the purchase of a new Radeon or GeForce, AMD then planted another seed and released some concrete details regarding the Radeon HD 4870 X2, as if to say, "Yeah, we've got you covered at the $300 price point and a new, ultra powerful behemoth is coming real soon too. Maybe you should hold onto your upgrade money for a bit?" That behemoth is the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and it arrives today. As its name suggests, the card features two RV770 GPUs running in tandem, for what is effectively a Radeon HD 4870 CrossFire configuration on a single PCB. Other than its pair of GPUs, however, the Radeon HD 4870 X2 has a few more differentiating factors we're now able to tell you about. Read on for the full scoop... ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 - AMD Back On Top: http://www.hothardware.com/articles/ATI-Radeon-HD-4870-X2--AMD-Back-On-Top/ As always, a link in your news sections would be much appreciated!

Hardware Canucks is pleased to present our review of the earerly anticipated Radeon HD4870 X2 2GB video card from Palit. *Article URL:* http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/9225-palit-radeon-hd-4870-x2-2gb-video-card-review.html *Quote:* *There hopefully isn't a soul alive in the enthusiast community who isn't even partially surprised with how well ATI has been able to turn around their fortunes but there is one area they have not yet tackled: the ultra high-end performance crown. Riding on the coattails of their recent inroads, today marks the launch of their HD4870 X2 2GB card which is looking to capitalize on the growing popularity of the 4800-series while taking performance to the next level.* *Image URL:* http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image/skymtl/GPU/PALIT-HD4870X2/HD4870X2-37.jpg We would appreciate it if you could post this up in your News section Regards, -- Hardware Canucks News Team

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (Visual) - Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 in Crossfire QUOTE: "It’s hard to turn around and say that the HD 4870 X2 is one of the most anticipated cards of recent times, due to the plain fact that there have been so many cards released over the last three months. While some had thought that the new HD 4870 would become the fastest single card solution on the market, the price AMD launched the card at gave indication that the chances were going to be pretty slim. Fast forward a few months and we’ve got a new card that sits at around the same price of the GTX 280. It’s packing two HD 4870 cores on a single PCB, the same core speed and memory speed as its single card brethren and hopefully a whole bunch of extra performance."

The P45 chipset has arrived to take the reins from the P35 chipset. MSI's latest still uses the cheaper DDR2, allowing you to get the most from the new without the need to stop using the old. http://www.viperlair.com/index.php/reviews/msi-p45-platinum.html "There are a few points that the Specifications don't cover. The first is MSI's new DrMOS and GreenPower, aimed at increasing power efficiency and lowering power usage. The P45 Platinum has some ye olde overclocking jumpers which allow you to increase the base FSB via hardware; personally I think this will be a little used feature by most. Enough time has passed that this would seem like a new feature to many, but the old(er) folks will remember these from days gone by when New Kids On The Block were cool. Like NKOTB, they should have probably remained in the past. That said, MSI's RapidBoost feature used in conjunction with the jumpers might better justify their inclusion." http://www.viperlair.com/index.php/reviews/msi-p45-platinum.html
