My new XFX 4870 XXX KICKS ASS
So ive took the plunge - defied the credit crunch - and spent my Christmas money on a new XFX ATI 4870 XXX card - and this card kicks serious ass, Head and shoulders above what ive seen lounging around to date - from its Black PCB with Red DVI ports, to the packaing and quick ref guide - best money ive spent period.

they have great warranty as well so enjoy it to the max. I wish they had of gone with after market cooling though or something similar to what they did with the 4850

That depends, if every rig that was available at the time did not bottleneck the GPU then it would be equal across the board.

DH reviewed cards?

Grafikkarten-Charts - Hardware-Infos or this? which based on my constant reading for the last few years looks dead on & link should be spread
