Overclocked Radeon HD 4870 X2 Shoot-Out: ASUS, MSI @ HotHardware.com

[news 28]

Hello Everyone,

 

 

 

NVIDIA's and AMD's graphics board partners usually take differing approaches

when releasing factory overclocked variants of each company's respective

high-end GPUs. When NVIDIA launches a new part for example, their board

partners typically have factory overclocked versions at the ready, and at

launch, it's sometimes easier to find overclocked cards than stock reference

models. AMD's board partners, however, don't usually take the same approach.

When AMD launches a new ATI Radeon, the first batch of cards to hit

typically follow the reference design to the letter, and custom, factory

overclocked models don't arrive until some time later.

 

 

 

That's what happened with the Radeon HD 4870 X2. At launch, just about every

Radeon HD 4870 X2 available at retail had the exact same features and

specifications. But more recently, a few board partners have introduced

factory overclocked variants that take the performance of what is already

the fastest graphics card available up a notch. We've actually got two of

them in house, the Asus EAH4870X2 TOP and the MSI R4870X2-T2D2G-OC. Come on

by the site and check them out.
