HD 4870 Review. Faster than GTX 260!!

[Marshillboy]

As swoot as this is, I still maintain that the 4850 offers a better price/performance ratio.

Hmm, I might make the switch back to ATi later on.

? I don't see any 70s in there?

Wait.. so the higher end ATI 4xxx is faster then the lower end Nvidia 2xx? Hows that work out?

 

[Cabbs]

Cheaper is how it works out. Two 4850's in crossfire will come close and sometimes beat a 280.

Oh, well there was one. You should have been quicker .

The HD 4870 is $299, the GTX 260 is $399. And it even beats the $650 280 in a few benchmarks.

Anandtech reviews HD 4870: This generation belongs to ATi.

Woah.....they're beast-like! Two of them beat three 280s xD ...but then again, Valve optimizes for ATI...

The 4870 is now on Newegg!
