  • ati are chaper and competing the nvidia and nvidia runs hotter with more expensive prices which is the best card for u in performance wise?

  • Why does palit make ugly ass looking cards haha...

  • HEEEYYYYYYYY ROBOT FROG >.>

  • I have the exact same card, but on my fans it says Powered by ATI, not Palit. Does that mean I have a different card, I cant find anything on my card...

  • I have the 1GB version of this card with a few extra video display ports. Just wanted to note that this so called MEGA card runs at 70degrees Celsius on idle! That too in NORMAL bios mode. Remember, it has 2 fans! Guess it's cuz the NORMAL mode too is OVERCLOCKED by Palit. Running at that temperature, I fear this card's life will deteriorate faster. BUT über performance is the only reason I still keep it.

  • that thing is a beast

  • i use to have it..VERY GREAT PERFORMANCE...just that its kinda noisy and power consuming..other then that FKN AWSOME...

  • @mopdop400 sadly it is :( owning also a 5770 i didnt bought a 4870 becouse of directx11.....

  • I just now started watching these and I love this guy. (No homo) He actually goes and asks people in the background. THAT is funny.

  • I have one of these and its at 60-70c is that normal?

  • @ImEatingRiCE well NOW there is a 5870 x2 asus ARES dont you even know?

  • @LFCforEver12341 nope its 5870 x2. NOT v2 thats different asus ares has 2 GPU's = 5870x2

  • ROBOT FROG! LOL

    i miss logan =/

  • HDCP- High bandwidth Digital Content Protection. Is it me, or would High Definition Copyright Protection be MUCH easier to remember, as that's really what it is

  • HAHAHA this was hilarious man "a cyborg forced to go kill alien terrorists" HAHAHA wtf man keep up the videos albert u rock!!!

  • I want and example of how the games run..

  • People need to realise that ATI cards AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME deliver more performance for the money.

  • yes they do i just bought a xfx radeon 4870 for 140$

  • @TheHitman101123 actually people need to realize that Well now called AMD Radeon cards are the fastest graphics cards out on the market now fuck nVidia

  • go cyborg frog!! put those terrorist aliens in their place!!

  • lol funny how the camera man didn't zoom in xD

  • OMG, 2 fans!!!

  • i had that card but just after 2 weeks it stopped working ati took 2 months to replace it now i have a gtx 285 its way better than this

  • "i had that gtx285 but just after 2 days, it stopped working nvidia took 2years to replace it now i have an HD4870 its way better than gtx285~"

  • It dosen't say anything about this video being a review, tiger direct just showcase there products which they sell.

  • chill outt

  • It's been a year and display port still hasn't breached the market. total waste of manifacturing.

    btw it's pronounced paleet, fonetically.

  • so its pa leet? what about tomato and potato?

    poh tar toh? or poh tay toh?

    toh mar toh? or toh may toh?

    fucking americans...

  • The americans I got to know actually pronounce it póh-tay-Dow and in case u weren't being cinical I too hate their pronounciation and butcher of the latin letters.

  • where is tiger .i want tiger

  • this card must be power hungry card...

  • 0:52

    HDMI!

  • Its not a HDMI...

  • It's about a year old now but I'm still playing new games at highest settings - this has been the only graphics card I have ever bought that I've truly been impressed with over such a long period of time.

    Top card!

  • its still pretty risky using the display port, just like, HD DVD :)

  • whats the main diference between the Palit Radeon Sonic Dual Edition 1Gb and 512Mb in performance....

    whats better to get in a price wise sort of way???

  • The difference is some games don't support 512mb with certain textures, cause some textures require a lot of memory BUT that's usually not an issue the extra 512MB usually would give you an extra 5-10 frames depending on the game, so it's quite negligible

  • The 1gb will be faster at hi-resolutions, and do better with crazy textures. You choose.

  • how much money do you get to talk everything into heaven? oO

  • i have chosen 2 cards.which one is the best.. EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 Video Card 896MB DDR3 Vs XFX Radeon HD 4870 Video Card -1024MB GDDR5 these are the 2 cards 4870 has GDDr5 but 256 bit color. and 260 has 448 bit colors i guess. so please tell me..which one is better 4870 has 1 Gb ddr3 memory but 260 has 896 memory but ddr3 which one is better for gaming i mean i want them for gaming( better in performance,FPS,fast) which one is the best 4870 has good core clock as well as memory clock
  • at this point go by looks lol

  • uhh.... 256 bit isnt refering to color....

  • 4870 beats 260, and the colors look pretty much the same. GDDR5 is the best memory type now.

  • I have this cards, performs great. although the oveclock is pretty mild, so you won't notice that much of a performance boost unless you overclock it yourself (the bios switch on the card comes in handy for the profile)

  • anyone can tell me whats the difference between saphhire and all the company of graphic card? Which one is the best? I'm using a saphhire.

  • i think the best is xfx because of the warranty but msi has the best over clock for the money

  • The companies of graphic cards just make different versions of a card. there are two big gpu makers AMD(ati) and nvidia which make the gpu and the companies like saphhire, bfg, xfx and a many more uses the gpu and make the cards. i do not think one is the best are are many good card makers. xfx give lifetime warranty, lalit give good O'clock. -----if this does not help ask pcwizkid he respond very fast.------

  • Interesting to see that all of the 4870's need a lot more of just about all of the hardware specs to perform as well as a GTX 260. Except for the shader clock, that is.

    My XFX GTX 260 is (over)clocked at 660/1435/2140, and that's with only 216 shaders.

    While this thing has to go to 750/750/3800+800 shaders to perform nearly as good as a 260.

    Nvidia does just as well as their cards with alot less, just imagine a nvidia card with the same specs as this..

  • i think it's like DirectX, only it's used in 3d rendering and stuff, not sure

  • will my MSI R4870 1GB GDDR5 perform good in my 20'' monitor.??max resulution is 1600 x 900.

  • will the HD palit radeon 4870 work on a DDR3 motherboard? with a i7 CPU?

  • yes it will coz the new motherboards support pci express.

  • yes ......if u stick it into a pci e 16x 2.0 slot .... and be careful with ur psu

  • yup

  • palit is good performance nvidia

  • benchmarks on this?

  • erm can u tell me whic his better:

    the Gainward HD4870 GS or

    the Gainward GTX260 GS?

  • HD4870 by 5%, so go which ever is cheaper.

  • ok ^^ ill go for the HD4870.. coz im gonna do the dragon platform of AMD :D

  • witch is the better graphics card the nvidia 260 or the ati 4870 sonic edition for windows xp?

  • 4870 by like 1or 2 frames

  • Thx :D

  • I have a AMD Phenom X3 how will it do with this card?

    how much cooling will it need?

    And will a 500watt power supply be enough?

  • can cooler master Real Power Pro 550W can power this in a cross fire??

  • lol wtf?

    no....

    it probially will barely hold one....

  • ty sir....so 550W will only run 1..

    but how about

    corsair 620W will it run 2x card like this??

  • i doubt it

    its prolly better to just get at least 750 watts(the bare miminum)

    but if you have the money, i would go with a 850 just to be on the safe side

    =D

  • umm ic...BTW thanks 4 d info...nd reply...

    so ill change d 620 to 750...BTW is the 750Watss PSU of corsair is modular??

  • how does this card run crysis with 4 gigs ram, on a Intel Q9550 Quad Core CPU ?? on vista 32bit ??

    thanks guys !

  • wat is the average price?

  • ati always has small size graphics card...

  • i have had troble contacting palit about a question i have the site ceeps sending me threw some funky wizard evry time i try to send my email. i dont have the info it wants. and my atempts at sending a regular email failed. anyone now how to contact them?

  • palit has a released a newer version of this videocard its called ''700 WS Revolution" if im correct

  • why do they have two of these videos?

  • they r on 2 different accounts tigerdirect and compusa

  • I have this,:)

  • I have this card's revision - it has practically every port you could want. Awesome, awesome card.

  • cool show

    Please Present the 4890 !!!

    and show more benchmark relative to nvidia cards^^

  • guy plzz is there a video card for hp pavillion dv5 1120 I NEED THE ANSWEER!!PLZZ

  • FOR A NOTEBOOK? good luck, they do exist but i wouldnt bother

  • no, you cant really upgrade notebook gpu's

  • which ati 4870 card is the best ??? im confused because there is powercolor, this one, diamond radeon and a load of others

  • dude they are all the same just diffrent brands make sure you get one with a large cooler if youll overclock tough :)

  • i would advise the club 3d one(the 1gb 800 one)

    they come pre overclocked and since the 4870 wont overclock alot more you dont have to oc yourself and loose your waranty

  • Overclocking your GPU/CPU does NOT void your warranty.

  • so thats why my waranty got voided when i overclocked mine.

    it depensds on the gpu/cpu and the manufacturer

  • Is it still as fast as the

    Ati Radeon 4870 X2???

  • no - 4870 x2 much faster

    this is a 4870 x1

    x2 has two processing cores, around 60 percent betterperformance

  • 5:28-5:34 = super nerd.

  • BUY AMD

  • i own the same one but the latest revision even has a VGA port oddity in there.

    but this once fast alright. and the fans are way more silent than its little brother 4850 sonic edition.

  • No questions will get answered here. If you have any questions, send them to albert@tiger. tv

  • HERES A HARDWARE QUESTION FOR ALL YOU GEEKS OUT THERE LIKE ME:- im thinking about upgrading my comp and i have around $200 bucks to do so. Now- my hardware right now is some what a high powered rig but with highly limited upgrade paths because of the shitty motherboard. I have an Intel G chipset which is great for multimedia but shitty for gaming- only 1 PCI Express 16X 2.0 slot. I have an Intel Quad Core with an 8800GT SuperClocked GPU running at 730/1800/2.00Ghz.

  • I want to upgrade and buy either a EVGA 780i 3 Way SLI motherboard which is around 150 bucks or get an ATI HD 4870 1Gb Gddr5 Graphics card. Both would give me significant performance increases. The motherboard would let me overclock my CPU to much higher spec which would give my GPU a huge boost along with my memory etc which would give my whole system a boost in speed. Then again an HD 4870 would be a nice speed upgrade in games. Remember im a hardcore PC gamer, i use my pc for games.

  • im not that much of a geek, but i'd say buy a new motherboard first, then upgrade to a new gpu later. the mobo is the gateway, and if it's limiting your upgrades then buy a new one for future-proofing.

    this might not be correct advice, but fuck it.

  • Pshhh, mine is running at 4400mhz memory and 790 mhz core clock.

  • I have one with a black cooler... Is this unique to the 1GB model or not? Cause I been wondering for ages...

  • man this card is awesome lemme tell you

  • If u have a Sapphire HD 4870 1Gb can u take one of this card and crossfire is with the sapphire or does it have to be a Palit?

  • they just need to be ati

    it would work with 3870, 3850, 4850 etc

  • killer0588, you're stupid... stop whining. Nvidia isn't always better than ATI.

    Anyway, although this looks like a cool card, palit has had a reputation for having cards that overheat. From this vid it looks like they are trying to improve their rep. :D

  • i have 6600@2.4ghz, 965p-s3(not gonna crossfire), 2gb ram and 22 inch asus. thinkign of purchasing this card,would it be any good in cod4??

    the card is $350 in sydney

    cheers

  • well.. i gt an i7 core system with asus p6t motherboard.. This card gels wid da unit.. delivers max performance.. an excellent buy for you gamers.. all the best

  • How much is this graphic cards?

  • can this run crysis at 1600x1000 well?

  • easy if your comp is good enough, gotta hard a good comp to run a good card

  • on this card i´m playing CRYSIS on 1280x1024 Very High (everything) Vista 64 bit, only FSAA is turned off :)

  • i'm getting a core2duo E8400 3.0Ghz, an Hd4870 dual sonic edition 1Gb, 2 gb of RAM 800 MHZ, a DFI LANPARTY DK P35 T2RS, running on vista 64x can anyone tell me how games like GTA 4, Far cry 2 or S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:CLEAR SKY ARE GOING TO RUN?:) plzz i really need to know:)

  • Hey i have own this palit by yesterday....

  • dude, ATI sucks and nvidia is the best, got it.

  • yeah thats why ati has been raping nvidia in the ass the last year,got that

  • listen compare your 5000 series with nvidia quadro then tell me.

  • your an idiot,the quadros are workstation cards,which suck for games there meant for graphics editiing not gaming,

  • listen u shit head dont call me that ok, so what if they are for graphic editing at least they are from nvidias company.

  • lufodao1990 and killer0588 you are both fuckin little fanboys so stop writhing such pointless comments.....

    btw: nvidia isnt so much better than ati....they are realy close to each other....look at some benchmark and find it out

  • yo i know you been fucking your own mom thats soooo bad you gay lord and try to call me motherfucker again i will come over there and beat the shit out of u fucker

  • hey killer0588 u fucking idiot, i found out thats u like to rape man, so why dont u just shut the fuck up and go rape ur dad ass, see how it go, then u tell me how is that, or u maybe could just ask ur mum, im sure in the night time she is the one that makes ur dad pend over and stick a plastic dick in his ass, or maybe her 2 hands

  • u mother fucker i know one thing 4 sure that my dad fucked your mom and unwanted gift came out and 2nd i dont rape man and i never said like that unlike some people talking like this, you gay loarddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • Cause the current ATI cards rape Nvidia, and the 4890x2 and 5870x2 will continue to rape ANYTHING that nvidia has planned.

    Kthxbai

  • shut up bro, all i can say is i own the ati hd 5870 my self now so no need to fight.

  • @Suburbankidd i know this was 7 months ago, but wtf u on about, no such thing as a 5870x2 7 months ago!

  • are you serious there comin out with the 5870 x2(BITCHIN)!

  • i have a AGP 8X (AGI8X by asrock) i need a graphic card that goes with that slot... please any sugestions?

  • 3850 from what Logan suggested.

  • haha nvidia is in the ass

  • ATI is further in development. GDDR5 is kicking nVidia in the ass!

  • You should check out the GTX295, & then realise how cheap HD 4870x2's are going to be because of the compition, but January ATI releases new cards 5800 series :)

  • The bad thing about nVidias new reales is that it's still GDDR3, but i shouldn't talk bad about nVidia, I'm a nVidia fan as many others... :P

  • Yeah, i don't realy favour ATI :P

    But ATI's 4870x2 will be 40% faster with the new drivers, it changes the transfer speed to 3gb/s between cores.

  • That is just nasty :P

  • It will be :p especially when it makes Nvidia eat it's dust once again.. :)

  • i´ve got this card, realy good :D

  • So good cooling :)

  • I hate when they make reviews and the card stays on the site for less than a week >.>

  • i have the

    ATI HD 4870 Palit Sonic Dual Edition 1GB

  • me too :D

  • yay :D

  • Me too

  • where did u guys get it? and how much did it cost?

  • Just bought the 1 gig version today, it arives new years eve, Woohoo

  • At 5:08 when he tried to say Palit 2nd time it sounded like pallit wich means 'dicks' at Finnish, kek.

  • Meh bought this and getting it at next week!

  • I have bought the card.

    is it a problem for it to run in the turbo mode

    or should i play in the normal mode?

    but i the turbo mode it runs cool ,too or?

  • umm that what i was think about few minute ago!

    look, he said that in turbo mode its stay cold so u can stay on the turbo always!

  • ohh here he said it : 3:31
