Asus Radeon HD 4850 review

news · June 23, 2008

In an effort to remain competitive in the $200-$300 price bracket, ATI is

launching yet another product from a brand new series which has been given

the codename R700. The R700 will be better known as the Radeon HD 4000, and

the first product from this new series that we will be looking at is called

the Radeon HD 4850.

Already the Radeon HD 4850 is shaping up to be a rather interesting product

as its suggested retail price has been set at just $200, right between the

GeForce 8800 GT and 8800 GTS 512. With that in mind we would normally expect

this new card's performance to at least exceed that of the 8800 GT, however,

looking at its specifications the Radeon HD 4850 appears as it will be

capable of much more than just defeating the competition's budget king.
