Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB Review - GTX 280 killer

[news 28]

We were promised the Radeon HD 4850 X2 card months ago but only now are we

getting our hands on retail samples. Can this latest dual-GPU graphics

solution from AMD hope to change the landscape against NVIDIA's GeForce GTX

280?

Quote: "Why would just one board partner be willing to offer such a

compelling part? There several factors that likely include the economic

slump, the slight drop in prices on the HD 4870 X2 cards and inventory

availability. Even taking that into consideration I find it very confusing

that AMD seems content to have this graphics card be such a low volume

product. With its great price (currently competing with NVIDIA's GTX 280

cards) and performance advantages (that you will see in our benchmarks) I

really think the Radeon HD 4850 X2 could catch on in the enthusiast

segment."

 

Thanks for a post!
