  • Competitive performance at a lower cost than the competition; supports DirectX 10.1; easy home theater installation.
  • Faster 3D performance available for just a little more cash; power hog.
  • Asuss EAHD4870X2 falls just short of the speed and relative value offered by Nvidias competing high-end 3D card. Unless you have certain very specific needs, youll get better performance and better power efficiency with Nvidia. See all products in t...

  • Abstract:  The big graphics card vendors had two options on hand: one, improve the air cooling to the point that enables fully stable operation with some overclocking thrown in easily, or two, slap on some exotic cooling option like a water or vapour chamber. A...

  • Abstract:  GPU: Radeon HD 4870 X2; Core clock: 750MHz; Memory: 2GB GDDR5 (900MHz); 1,600 stream processors ATI is back on top with its Radeon HD 4870 X2. And after two years in Nvidia’s shadow, this card is anything but a fluke of engineering. In the September 20...

  • Looking back at the results posted by the HD4870-X2, there is absolutely no denying that its currently the fastest single card solution and the margins get wider as you crank up the resolution and details. In fact, this card is specifically built for ...

  • Based on the results over the previous pages it's really hard not to fall in love with the 4870X2. Yes it totally lacks in innovation, yes it sucks up power and yes it removes the need for any heating in your home. But for the hardcore gamer or extrem...

  • Abstract:  and Rating: It doesn’t take a rocket-scientist to see that the 4870X2 completely dominates the playing-field with NVIDIA and even surpasses its own 4870 in Crossfire on a single card. At its entry price of $550, it’s a tad cheaper than t...

  • The fastest graphics card money can buy.
  • Uses a lot of power, suffers from the problems common to all SLI/CrossFire solutions.
  • ATI takes the performance crown by a good margin with the 4870 X2, but we expect future products to solve the common multi-GPU problems.Value and Power...

  • Extremely fast; includes HDMI adapter; dual-GPU acceleration works even with multiple monitors
  • Large; some applications dont use the second GPU; fan gets noisy at load
  • With two ATI Radeon 4870 chips on a single board, Asus EAH4870X2 currently offers the best 3D performance out of any single-card solution, but youll need a roomy, powerful system to take full advantage. ...

  • Cool operating temperatures, adequate performance
  • Blocks access to two extra PCI slots, can be quite loud
  • If you want an air-cooled card that provides decent headroom for aftermarket overclocking, ASUS’ EAH4780X2/HTDI/2G is a good choice. Unfortunately, the operating noise and the card’s thickness are deterrents. ...
