Title: ATI Radeon HD 4870 On Linux ( -at -) Phoronix

Summary: "A week ago we looked at the brand-new ATI Radeon HD 4850

graphics card under Linux. This graphics card launch was unlike any in

ATI's history where with the introduction of a brand new product

generation, Linux users were greeted by same-day Linux support -- both

through their proprietary fglrx driver and with the open-source

xf86-video-ati driver. In addition, some of the board partners are

opting to put Tux on their product packaging and shipping the Linux

drivers on their product CDs. As we had also exclusively shared, AMD

will soon be approaching a feature parity between the Windows and Linux

drivers. Today we're publishing our complete review of the new ATI

Radeon HD 4870 512MB as well as delivering additional benchmarks from

the Radeon HD 4850 under Linux, of course."
