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...

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. ...
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. ...
