HIS Radeon HD 4870 X2 Video Card

[freakyflow]

Tigerdirect are scammers I would rather pay double the price from some other computer store

[UFOXERT]

ewwwww you can hear him swallowing saliva at 4:09

i almost laugh and throw up at same time

[tman2tuff]

why so told Nvidia?

[Lemau]

90 Degrees! My old PASSIVELY COOLED GPU ran that! But this is 90 degs ACTIVELY COOLED! O_O

[klote2314]

NEVER HOLD THE GRAPHICS CARD LIKE THIS GUY

he obviously wants his card DEAD

dont ever hold it like that!!!

ffin amateur

[Snorkelsson]

why

[Avataryoutuification]

@klote2314 ESD.

[smallville0forever]

@klote2314 hahaha thats true he was damaging the motherboard on xfx hd5870 video review

thumps up

[pcheavenchicagogamin]

@klote2314 he has like 100 of them for disposal

[vangstaz]

Mountain Dew FTW!!

[flipa1223]

IDIOT

[kingarah8]

idiot! u want to have that with your laptop? haha are u joking..

[kidowner]

u cant UPGRADE A LAPTOP-.-

[Globalcashcookie]

yeah well what papas says it's not true, just because a video card is old and a new comes out does not always mean it's better

[Globalcashcookie]

how much it cost?

[SVTFilms]

This card is almost 500 dollars.

[buddahlover419]

HAHA damon ur funny bro i have an ati radeon hd 4850 and am now looking to upgrade to this card and it should finaly compliment my intel core i7 just nicely i think

[MirZZi]

Man, this dude talks too fast when he starts explaining

[jonrskitlez]

i didnt know my pc was that good...

[papas182]

of course the gtx295 X2 beats this, cause that card has one month in the marked and this one is one year older.

[damon323]

Dont ever lie to me!!! You are a closet ATI fanboy and you know it HAHA!! ATI smokes Nvidia!!! I love ATI!!! I have ATI tattoos!! If ATI was in lquid form, I would inject it!! I better go take my meds.....

[SVTFilms]

idiot there no such thing as GTX 295 X2. If you are talking about SLI, then is quad SLI, because GTX 295 has a dual GPU. So a GTX 295 is liek a 4870 X2, but its just Nvidia.

[strasto]

where i cand buy a gtx 295 x2? i think nowhere because that card dont exist

[kidowner]

coz the gtx 295 is already a dual gpu... xD

[Froanite]

@kidowner idiot you. hd 4870x2 was all time and then just come gtx295 and 295gtx is shit.

[kidowner]

@Froanite ur the idiot coz u cared responding a 5 month old comment..

and also look to what i responded that u stupid fuck

[Juantotish]

Damn, i'm just waiting for the gt300 series or the hd5000, but with native support for directx11 and i god,ala, buda, superman want i will be able of raytracing

[puff0086]

i wait to apear 4890x2....this will be the best video card ever...:))

[mujmujmuj]

The gtx295 is faster than this card ofc but this one is alot cheaper

[johnson3119]

cool

[johnson3119]

shit in your but while you poop dick head sun of a bitch shit head

and fuck face

[xstreamkills]

ATi will own if they get there drivers down

[turoturothegreat]

Is the GTX 295 faster than this?

[DontHoldBack2]

No turoturothegreat this is the best at the moment.

[PINKmyFLOYD]

the 295 is better in 95% of games

[mueller309]

not anymore, this was the best in 2008, it's 2009 bud, nvidia always beats ati in quality.

[unknown2594]

this card beats the GTX285

[chorinicpker]

yes :) the gtx295 beats in everygame...

[Feliperamos13]

never....

[turoturothegreat]

In a current pc magazine I read they tested the GTX295 vs the Radeon 4870 X2 and GTX295 won every speed test.

[damon323]

ATI rapes Nvidia's little chili ring!!! Haha!!!!!

[heylowshalos]

how many 4870 x2s can u put on a crossfire X motherboard? it looks really thick. can u put 4 or only to cards in crossfire mode?

[ThePowerOfX3m]

only two

[tacoshell14]

how many nvidia graphics cards have 2GB of memory?

[hobbitmiester]

This card is an extension to my penis!

[Krisisb0b]

interesting rofl

[photon101203]

WIll it run on 600 w?

[ownTer]

Why dont you just google it? Lazy kids would rather check youtube chat than just look it up. Kids these days.

[Coruption584]

HIS Radeon HD 4870 X2 and Radeon HD 4870 X2 which one better?

[MegaTechGuy]

They are about the same, just made with different graphics. e.g. pic's lol

[SukhoiSu37Terminator]

Dude...They're the same thing...The sticker is just different.

[queenzortje]

Same question: What's better? a yellow bmw m5 or a black one.

[ekstc]

a white bmw m5 would be faster due to it's color characteristic, the car wouldn't heat up as much as a black bmw m5, and hence the metal wouldnt expand. thus reducing its wind resistance. tsk tsk.. you should know this !

[queenzortje]

i still would go with the black one ;) because the difference is nihill

[nWoSnake2]

LOL, ATI Readeon 4870 X2 Mountan Dew edition.

[masterlink101]

"and you get a nice crossfire bridge so if your psychotic and wanna run two you can melt your mind and do that its not a big deal" lol i love how he said that =P

[putertronikz]

over a 300 watts of useless and costly powerdrain, microwave radiation,+component and memory burn-in to speed a measly flicker on a game screen!

hmmm no thanks?

[nyfan33]

Can someone tell me if this video card runs Crysis better than a 2x GTX 260s in sli. I saw maxishine's benchmark and the framerates are in the 20s especially in Warhead. Im just wondering because this 4870 X2 is a beast or so I hear.

[Stickmania1989]

Probably close in crysis as it is optimised for Nvidia cards, but in most other games this one will win hands down especially at high res with AA.

[nyfan33]

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply!

[DNBGuRu]

Cost effective? a Hyperdrive4 is still lingering around $2000, then to add the cost of a SSD to supplement, leave your pc on infinitely otherwise erasing data, and then 400W? are you kidding me? You'd rather spend the 5 times the amount of an outstanding video card, then place all power and strain on your CPU and memory, then (using windows for instance) have a 24/7 uptime? No thanks, Ill buy a Video Card, until these systems become cost efficient, and usuable in daily computers not servers.

[Hose8N]

the only good reason to get a video card in the futur

will be for monitor output signals and only if it has very low power envelope for the work it does, the power envelopes videocards use are a money wasting joke.

[Feuerwaffen]

K, I'll waste my money. You go away now.

[Hose8N]

hey np don't have to go anywhere special if you have lots of money im not giving a fk about you anyways so go do what u want i don't give a fk about people with enough money to waste it. i care about people that aren't wasteful and on a budget

[Hose8N]

the reason they started making video cards that deteriorate and compress pixels was to counter the pagefile memory bottleneck on the hard drive, but once main storage is the speed of ram you don't need accelerative video cards anymore especially since the cards burn excesses of 400 watts just to speed up software flicker, which if you think about it, is highly scoffable.

[Userade]

terraflops lol

[mikeccuk2006]

next generation will probably have 2400+ stream shaders each card.

last 1 has 320, now its 800. will it multiplies?

[kizzer222]

should i get one of these, 2 gtx 260, or 1 gtx 285 and get another one in the future ?

[Feuerwaffen]

Why would you hate vid cards? Are you a poor dumbass?

[Hose8N]

i hate video cards because its a stupid cost ineffective solution to just getting a faster frame flicker

a simple mainstream cpu can render graphics as fast as this videocard given the game is on a microsecond write/read storage (that includes the pagefile)

like a ddr drive

you dont need more ram to speed shit up when you hard drive is made out of instant speed ram in the first place.

puting your OS on a hyperdrive4 for example would eliminate the need for a video card!

[drifter1995]

ur a noob ur just jealous ur computer eats up that ram that you get built in so they supply u with more to make it faster and faster ur stupid stfu

[Caleb1915]

.Video cards are the mainstream, and as soon as the Hyperdrive4 costs as much as a GTX295, then you will start seeing some changes. And don't forget the fact that you have to leave the computer on at all times, that wastes energy and time.And there's more! If your electricity goes out everything on that amazing Hyperdrive is gone forever! Unless you spend even more money to buy another harddrive and constantly back up every single piece of data every second. And that would cost a lot of money.

[putertronikz]

dude theres no futur for 300w powerhog desktop gpus

(4870 X2 performance-like) super low powered motherboard embedded mobile graphics is the only thing gpu companies can contemplate to survive next to ramdrives and larrabee.

[kjeoy]

Here's teh deal..Have a 1440x900 19'' monitor, which is duel screened with a hd ready LG 32'' tv, for streaming hd/blue ray movies. I want a gpu card which can easily play games like call of duty, farcry etc without problems, as well as a card that can stream any hd films i may have on my computer to a tv! Question: Do i Need the 4870 or will it just be a waste concidering my 1440 x 900 screen? 4850 perhaps? Please answer:)

[GanjaLuka]

HIS is the best graphik manufrakutr

[freeze1305]

spwellinq sckuul clozet fur yuo?

[corygregghorner111]

lol

[kenkoyABC123]

Men! if youre gonna run of those two cards, put a direct air condition on ur cpu LOL!, then your electric bill will increase hahahaha LOL!

[DirectCore]

HAHAHA! Ya, we must put some liquid nitrogen and a car radiator under the CPU... LOL!

[kenkoyABC123]

Yeah! and thats what we call a North Pole Cooling System! LOL.

[pffkessulol]

i was planning to buy that one, diddint have so much money tho so i bought 9800 GT

[inachu]

all that shading power and still lags in Dalaran (world of warcraft)

[brandonsexywhitaker]

wow is gayyy

[LimeSlimez]

well said mate!

[vlekkietwinnie]

you still lag in the HD 4870 x2

[2point6x4]

vlekkietwinnie

"you still lag in the HD 4870 x2"

no lag though if you use AMD platform

with a dual core or quad core cpu.

or use intel core i7 platform if you can afford it : )

[vlekkietwinnie]

ok.

[puresofmeh]

I know, but I don't think that is V card lag, I think its population lag. I hope to see Dalaran get better...

[inachu]

No i trade off on cards types on every other purchase.  My last card was an Nvidia 7900 when it first came out. and before that was ATI 500meg first pci-e card.

[inachu]

LOL 3 months from now this will be rated a very slow card.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[mcorpus01]

not really...

it will be still as fast as new upcoming nvidia videocard g********

[tezzofino]

ur a fucking noob. probably an nvidia fanshit

[jodellstasic]

? I don't get your philosophy here. He's trying to emphasize that the 4870X2 will still be as fast as the upcoming nvidiot shit and you're telling him that he's an nvidiot? That's just stupid.

[tezzofino]

he said that 3 months from august (he posted that comment then) it will be rated as SLOW, and today, YEAH TODAY its still the fastest card on the planet.

So he was wrong. That was just what i was trying to point out lol.

[jodellstasic]

Actually.....let's get this straight first.

1. inachu said that 3 months from now, 4870X2 will be considered a slow card.

2. mcorpus01 contradicted to inachu's claim that the 4870 X2 will still be as fast as Nvidia's cards therefor criticizing Nvidia.

3. you contradicted mcorpus01's claim telling him that he's an Nvidia fan when in fact he is criticizing Nvidia.

4. I join in and point out your mistake. You were obviously pertaining to mcorpus01 when you said "ur a fucking noob."

[SiNCry0]

hahaha-ooooooo...I want this card so badly

[vangstaz]

I like Mountain Dew and ATI! xD

[MacLink11]

"...so if you're psychotic and you want to run 2, you can melt your mind and do that, no big deal..."

[zdumdum]

LOL. that was funny. One time on other video he said "Ok. Review is done. Get out! Go get your card, upgrade your life or whatever." lol.

[MacLink11]

Just wanted to say i got this chipset, not the same card though mines a sapphire 4870x2. i haven't even installed it yet cause my mobo was DOA but just looking at it makes me all fuzzy inside while i wait for my new mobo to come in- :(

[andreiclawhammer]

280 W just the CARD ALONE ... fucking freak monster.

[grimscythe951]

my father is computer programmer and thats why he buy that video card and i dont know where he use it i just want to play :D

[grimscythe951]

i own that and i have intel core i7 920

thats powerful i have 3 monitors using now

and one cpu

[zenniz1992]

Dont brag , readers will cry.

[shiftymeister]

I own one of them and they're fast :-D

[Twisted86]

Eh he isn't near as good as the other guy that did these videos :/

[djtekfour]

rofl!

[Smiddzta]

LoL

[gulllars]

I have one of these, just love it.

Got it in my rig a little over 2 months ago now, and have had no problem with it. Runs right around rated FPS specs from reviews.

What they don't tell you though, is that it's really stable at those FPSs.

On COD4 with 1920x1200 full aa/af, all settings max, it never drops below 55-60. Only time it goes in the area 55-60 is when there are multiple explotions, smoke grenades, and big gunfights taking place at the same time.

PS: 50% fan: 45C idle, 60-65 full load.

[ThePandaMovement]

It's $530 on Newegg.

[Pitt3r]

is there any point in me upgrading to this or two of these from 8800gts 512mb sli just yet?

[BroadcastingShit]

lol its like 650 bucks per card!Keep your card

[mark84j]

How do you keep your machine from overheating if you want to run two 4870 x2's? Thanks.

[Agent47Hit]

1. water cooling

2. adjust the fan speed google it!

[keletonia]

i got the standard hd 4870 from MSI, thinking about upgrading to this or something greater next summer.

[giuboy]

I have this card and Doom 1 and Duke Nukem runs without any lag.whatta great card.

[iTangle]

doom 1 wtf?

I have a 128mb intel intergrated card (915gm) and i run Gta sa with no lag. 4870x2 was built to play Crysis and stuff

[BHT70]

just got a ATI Radeon PCI-e 2.0 HD 3450 256MB DDR2(low profile for my hp slimline s3400z)

[marztar]

lol doom & nuke!

[Netinterspace]

wow i wish i could play those games.... :(

[ZoonCorp]

Im not an super pro at graphics cards. So can anyone please tell me what core clock, shader clock, memory clock ect. is?

Its good to know when buying a new GPU.

[Krisspychiken]

well in lame mans terms clock speeds are basically how much instructions the processor can execute per second...

so core clock is.. well how fast the gpu analyses things and the memory clock is how fast the gpu communicates with the vram

[gangsta399]

what is the difference between SAPHIRE ,DIAMOND,AND VISIONTEK 4870 x2 video cards ? and why the video cards cost differently ?

[CruveniumX]

The differences are the clocks/memory/cooler. And they are different manufacturers. HIS is the best imo.

[GreenyPoop]

the main differences is their warranty and the over clocked versions of the reference board. Visiontek is like egva with lifetime warranty. Other card manufactures have one year warranty after purchase.

[hussainmushahid]

I always go with HIS

Awesome and good looking card it beats gtx 280.

[o0SS0o]

what's the difference between all these diamond,saphire,HIS 4870 x2? i don't get it. are they like the same, just the difference on the cover?

[r31ncarnat3d]

It's just the company that manufactures it. It's the same with BFG, EVGA, and XFX with the nVidia cards. The GPUs on the same models are pretty much the same, but the cooler stickers and extras that come with the card differ.

Also, dpeending on the company, the card may also come overclocked.

Finally, the last difference is quality. Popular names usually have better QC with their cards, and less DOAs.

[hussainmushahid]

the only difference is that the company logo and some times the heatsink designs(non-reference coolers like of HIS)Its just a contract ATI has done with manufacturers and its upto them to do whatever they want like include a screw driver game bundle etc. Foolish stuff.

[funpoleece]

WHY DO YOU HOLD THE CARD LIKE THAT!!!

[yourma2000]

so people can see it obviously

[ShadowThndR]

show off ;)

[Hansten]

I've the Club 3d HD4870 X2 and I really rekommend it! It's just a awsome card!

[ShadowThndR]

wich one should I get in my new sys ?

the Club 3D HD4870 X2 or the Nvidia 280 GTX ?

[Dunceiam]

HD4870x2 outperforms the 280 if my memory serves me correctly.

[ShadowThndR]

your memory does server you right, but is it faster because of the amount memory (2gb) or just because the card is better.

If it's only the memory amount, getting two 280 GX will overpower the ATI card...

[ShadowThndR]

right ? :P

[hussainmushahid]

getting 2 4870x2 will overpower 2 gtx 280.

No matter how hard you try at every aspect the 4870x2 is better than gtx 280.

[ShadowThndR]

sweeeet

[beavers42891]

but if you run 3 gtx 280's how does it match up against 2 of those?

[vejito11]

atm 3 gtx 280 is better then 2 4870 x2s but when the new drivers come out the 4870 x2 will most likly be better

[beavers42891]

maybe maybe not

[dancemaniaco]

In my lovely country URUGUAY this card cost 1100 USD.

But i dont care ATI is ATI....the rest is rest.

[undeadpolice]

goksnedeh6578

Second to that!

[franvera199]

hi i dont know if it would be better to buy a gtx280 with a 780i motherboard or a 4870x2 with a rampage formula motherboard can you help me?

[goksnedeh6578]

4870x2 with a rampage formula motherboard :) the best!!

[TheSnailsMovies]

4870x2 with a Striker II Extreme even better!

[Tranlok]

nice!! got a rampage formula but with "only" a 4870. 4870x2 just out of my price range for the foreseeable futre :-(

[goksnedeh6578]

what is best? 1 GTX280 or 2 8800 ultra??

[vapru]

hd4870x2

[franvera199]

hi i dont know if it would be better to buy a gtx280 with a 780i motherboard or a 4870x2 with a rampage formula motherboard can you help me?

[Dambugger]

1 GTX280 is 600 USD x3 1800 its not that much tbh if your getting top of the line card in SLI (System Link Interface) if u want state of the art gaming pc its over 11000 usd and when i paid for mine i swear its worth the price it changed my life completly having this much power at your finger tips i trully love it even if you have to work for 6 months its worthet priceless as they say

[Dambugger]

2 4870 x2 cant beat 3 gtx 280's : D ATI = fail

[Protech14]

but the price tag on 3x 280 vs 2x 4870 x2 is insane, the 280 is much cooler tho and it uses half the power

[goksnedeh6578]

look at the other 4870X2 vids!!!

[tstickpro]

benchmarks?

Wow no benchmarks

Albert, you suck

[Vartex]

LMAO I almost pissed my pants cose it looked like mountain dew was almost on the cover but then he moved it.

[mayavania]

is there any monitor out there that support 2560x1600? I can only find crappy 1080p resolution monitor.

[Eequality72521]

newegg that $hit

[DarkHackin]

no benchmarks, this suck -.-

[beavers42891]

so im asking since like alllllll the ATI cards have more memory processors does that make them better then Nvidia cards that have alot less memroy processor?

[zenniz1992]

More memory = less lag as it can handle much stuff in their " brain ".

The only thing that speed up gaming performance and enhance graphic = GPU.

More memory = less lag / Good GPU = good performance.

[beavers42891]

ahhhh i see! wow never thought about it like that thanks! verry smart you are! lol

[dunlrock]

woohoo ati pwns nshitia!!!!

GO ATI!!!! ATI HD4870X2 PWNS the GTX280!!!!!!!!

[Nyk84]

nicely explained and detail...got me sold

[TrivSkip]

its it 3.6ghz memory clock on both gpus or shared?

[Fiberawptic]

At least Albert is himself and isnt trying to act like Logan or throw in sarcastic jokes, which was good when logan did it.
