RADEON HD 4850 / 4870 from Palit and PowerColor

Iria · Nov 26, 2008, 03:02 PM

"In the light of the recent new revision of GeForce GTX 260 with more processors, the star of RADEON HD 4870 has started to fade away. Indeed, the GTX 260 sometimes outscores its competitor in our tests, and only increased frequencies may help RADEON HD 4870 stay the leader in its class. That, and, of course, the fact that AMD and partners can cut prices without losing much profits, while the price of GTX 260 might soon reach its manufacturing costs, as this card is very expensive to make."
