Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 512MB review @ Elite Bastards

[news 28]

 

Hi everyone!

 

After looking at a couple of Radeon HD 4850 offerings over the past few weeks, today its the turn of the Radeon HD 4870 to strut its stuff, as we take a look at Sapphire's reference-based take on this part. How does it compete against NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 260 now that the pricing gap between the two boards has largely been closed?

 

 

Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 512MB review

 

"As per the Radeon HD 4850 board we looked at recently from Sapphire, this particular Radeon HD 4870 offering uses AMD's reference clock speeds, meaning that it sticks with the 750MHz core and 900MHz (3.6GHz effective) memory clocks we just mentioned.

 

While the Radeon HD 4850 requires only a single six-pin PCI Express power connector, the more demanding specification of the Radeon HD 4870 necessitates the use of two six-pin power connectors, which can be seen here on the rear of the board."
