I made some changes. The 4870 is an amazing card by all accounts, especially for the price of 310 USD ish, if your looking for a new GPU, and have the option to buy one, jump on it now.

Unless, of course your waiting on an 4870 X2, like so many of us are..
Crazy_Nate
Maybe there should be a little section for the 9800GTX+ that Nvidia is putting out to compete with the 4850.

Looks to be a close match!
Nvidia 9800GTX+ Preview @ Bjorn3d.com

Wow that 9800GTX+ looks pretty good, if only nvidia would allow intel to make chipsets for SLI sad.gif

And the hits just keeping coming:

Sapphire HD4850 Review @ OCC
Radeon HD 4870 In CrossfireX at 4GHz @ TweakTown
ASUS EAH4850 512MB @ Techgage
VisionTek HD4850 @ Neoseeker

Why did OCC review another 4850 and not the 4870?

I think I will limit the reviews to one card (Or at least one type of setup) per site, so I won't put the 4850 Back up Again for OCC, But I will add the others...

Edit: Added..

Because we got the 4850's before we got the 4870.

The launch day were not the same which added a whole set off issues to this problem dry.gif
Ste
But the 4870 review will be out by midnight right?

Cause, I really need to see that. smile.gif
bosco
Alan is working on finishing it today. If it is done it will be launched tonight as planned.

Does anyone know if the 1gb version of the 4870 is going to offer any more performance? If so, when its due out?
Nemo
Another HD 4850 review:
Visiontek 4850 @ Bjorn3D
Ste
Bjorn3D Already did a review with both cards... :/

Anything special about the review? Maybe crossfire or only DX9/DX10 games/Tests?

I just got 2 Asus Radeon 4850s. They are awesome! I will post some benchmarks next week when I have time to do so.
