The world was turned upside down with the relesae of the ATI 4870. The price versus performance could not be matched by anything Nvidia had to offer. Well at the time of its launch. Now that Nvidia has found the error in their pricing ways the ratio i...
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... |

Today I’ve got a video card review of the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 512MB product, though it’s not technically an official review… A couple weeks ago I looked at the SmoothCreations LanShark Gaming system, and it had this card in it, SC asked me to revi...

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... |

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... |

This graphics card from Sapphire is the first we’ve seen that uses AMD’s latest version of the RV770 GPU, namely the HD4870. The GPU’s architecture is very similar to the HD4850 we reviewed last month; the cores are 55nm, have 965 million transistors...

With the ever changing market for graphics cards it is hard to stay on top. But Sapphire always seems to be able to do this with their cards. They seem to have a good idea of what the end users want. Sapphire introduced their 4850 not long ago and now...

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... |

The Sapphire Radeon HD4870 512MB graphics card may look just like a unit from the HD3870 series, but it is a top of the line model offering a PCI Express X16 interface, a 750MHz core clock, and 900MHz GDDR5 memory which makes things very interesting th...

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... |

For too long now ATI have been playing second fiddle to their arch rival, NVidia. The ATI cards recently, while being very good cards in their own right, have not had quite the impact ATI would have liked and more often that not have fallen short of th...
After reviewing an HD4870 previously, we were fairly sure that the Sapphire card would give us the similar results, being that, in effect, it is the same card. Sure enough, the Sapphire HD4870 didn't disappoint giving nigh identical results to the previo... |

With nVidia done with its high-end product launches for this generation, it was obviously time for AMD to fire back. Now most of you would remember that AMD’s previous generation of GPUs were less than stellar and about the only product that got anyon...
Lets wrap things off by first talking a bit about overclocking. We were able to crank the core on this Sapphire all the way upto 890MHz and 1100MHz on the memory. This shot the scores of the GPU from 8666 in 3D Mark Vantage to 10003- about a 15% incre... |

AMD/ATI has released two new high-end graphics chips recently, Radeon HD 4870 and Radeon HD 4850, known by the codenames RV770 XT and RV770 PRO, respectively. As you can guess by the numbers, HD 4870 provides a higher performance compared to HD 4850 an...

A week or so ago we had the opportunity to review the Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 video card and we came away from that review knowing that AMD/ATI had hit a home run with 4800 series cards. Today we are going to be examining the big brother of HD3850, the Sapphire Radeon 4870 (RV770) which features 55nm technology and support GDDR5 memory and least we...
After we reviewed the Sapphire HD4850 we thought we had seen the best that ATI/AMD had to offer. We found just how wrong we were when we ran our first test with the Sapphire HD 4870. Here is a video card that has Nvidia scratching its head try to... |

AMD must be causing some headaches in the halls of its chief competitor, nVidia. First, AMD ships the ATI Radeon HD 4850, a $199 card that ran neck-and-neck with the nVidia GeForce 9800 GTX, resulting in nVidia significantly dropping the pric...

AMDs and NVIDIAs philosophies in GPU design are obviously splitting in a way they havent for several generations of GPUs and it will be interesting to see how that plays out. What matters today is gaming performance for your dollar and AMD has del... |
