Advantages: Can run almost every game on highest settings, easy to overclock, very good memory speed. Disadvantages: No PhsX so some games can't run properly or even at all sometimes, some old games dont work.
The XFX ATi RadeonHD4870 1024MB GDDR5, is undoubtedly one of the best cards you can buy within it's price range (to name a few the Nvidia GTX 260, the Nvidia GTS 250 and the ATi 4850) it is able to play almost every modern game at highest settings at a playable speed. I say almost because because some games require Nvidia PhsX, and I say modern because some old games don't work on the graphics card, Quake III for example. Although Deus Ex Works, as do all of Valves games and Diablo II does, but it has graphical issues and can mess up the placement of your windows.
Visuals
Almost every game that I own I can run at highest settings with a flawless framerate, Crysis runs at about 20 FPS which is playable but not exactly flawless. It still looks absolutely amazing though and you completely forget the bad gameplay ...
Advantages: Powerful, excellent value Disadvantages: Only good at higher resolutions
The 4870x2 has been here for a few years now, and has certainly made a place for itself among the graphics card market, rivalled only by possibly-over-the-top cards such as Nvidia's GTX 295, and recently, ATi's own HD 5870 (which is also the first DirectX 11 card on the market).
Setting up
The card is huge, taking up the space of two slots (which is to be expected of current cards) but also being long. I found that it fitted nicely in my Full tower case, though one should detemine the size of their case before buying the X2. In my opinion, if you are buying the 4870X2, you should get a full tower anyway, as the cooling requirements must be considered as well. The card requires two PCI-E power connections- so be sure that your Power Supply is 'compatible' with the X2. The card uses the PCI-E 2.0 interface, which boasts higher ...
Advantages: cheaper than nvidia, full directx 10.1 support, DDR5 RAM, legendary 4870 platform Disadvantages: you'll not have even one game to challenge this card.
I always appreciated nvidia's graphics cards, because obviously they were always taking an upperhand over ATI. And when Nvidia released 200 series, I bought it as quickly as possible, the graphics I got with my games were stunning. I thought that I had the perfect graphics card on the planet as the other 280's users would also. But then, not quite late though, ATI came in the battle field, holding its newest monster, ATI 4870X2, 2GB DDR5 graphics card, with the same price tag as of Nvidia 280 (which is only 1gb), ofcourse few companies were marketing it for lesser than that too. I thought twice but bought it, and as it was destined to be, my eyes were popped out, with full Directx 10.1 support (which ensures 25 - 30% boost in graphics and speed) and 2gb of discrete graphics memory and not to mention the DDR5 RAM, the games were in ...
