Sapphires Radeon HD4870 offers an impressive amount of graphics power at a modest price, and while it wont appeal to the power gamer, its more than enough for most users.
The single HD 4870 does an excellent job at standing its ground, floating around the GTX 260 XXX card we have here today. Like the HD 4850, turning on AA doesn’t cause the card to fall to its knees as was the case with the HD 3800 series of cards of...
No longer must we pay $600 plus for a very high performing video card. Sapphire and ATI has made sure of that. With the 4870 using the RV770 GPU chipset the price for a great card is well in reach of almost everyone. It is nice to see someone on a lim...
Abstract: In our recent look at the Smooth Creations LanShark, we had the opportunity to put the beast through several system benchmarks, including a few gaming ones, to evaluate its prowess. Smooth Creations made a special request that we have a separate look a...
Runs cool, Quiet while idle, Not bad performance for having 512mb of ram
Large two slots, Loud under load, Not the best performance
The Sapphire 4870 512MB card is not a bad choice for a video card, it performs admirably well and runs cool and quiet while in idle. The framerates you’ll get will of course depend on the resolution you’re running and the settings of the game...
Great performance, Over Clocking Ease, DX 10.1, Nice Bundle, Ease of Install, Crossfire Ready, Good Power
Runs Hot, No Game in Bundle, Ruby Didnt Show Up In Person
While the GTX-260 turned better numbers in "Synthetic Benches" during gaming, we couldnt tell the difference between it and the Saphire HD 4870. While the higher benchmark numbers are nice, the Sapphire HD 4870 made us just as happy as any of the oth...
Low price for the outstanding performance, Stylish Red look, GDDR5 RAM, Added extras in the box
Uh, none
During the testing we could see that when the anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering was turned up, the Sapphire HD 4870 had a large advantage over the 9800 and later Radeon cards. The Sapphire card is a very exciting graphics card for ATI in that it...
Solid performance, Performance easily beats HD3870, and usually beats an HD3870 X2, Remains surprisingly quiet, Respectable bundle of accessories, "Free" 2GB USB flash drive, Capable of 4-way CrossFire X
Hot! GPU idles near 80C, and even plastic on cooler hits 55C, Fan stays relatively quiet, but should be adjusted to provide more cooling, Not very energy efficient, at idle or under a load
Over the course of this review, the Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512MB graphics card showed that it could outperform a 512MB HD3870 with ease. Improvements of 54%, 66%, and 96% are just a few snapshots of how much better the HD4870 fared in some tests, and ...
