ATI Radeon HD 4870 Review: Vroom Vroom Crossfire

AMD ATI RADEON 4870 Review

The ATI Radeon 4870 is remarkable when it comes to really pushing ahead of what’s already achieved. It passed all of our strenuous exams on every difficult benchmark at every resolution with DX 10 and 10.1 enabled games, shows tremendous performance per watt and area, and moreover doesn’t take up a lot of power or make a loud sound during the late nights. You want to game, so do it your way and have fun without worrying about your card. Getting the ATI Radeon HD 4870 is quite possibly one of the best things you will do for yourself in 2008, other than getting off the computer chair and doing something else of course. It will be difficult with this in the house.

    Hahah. No doubt about that one. Read dBA emissions. That’s crazy they actually put it in WATER to measure that.

    12 pages of pure quality over quantity of writing. Something all other writers severely fail at. Thank you WiG
