Diamond Radeon HD 4870 Video Card

[thisithis]

And now it's in the Wii U.

[Subaro0o]

I have 1 4870 and it cant play wow on ultra

[SUNNYRAINWIND]

Radeon HD 4870 X2 or 6970??

[SUBW00F3RR]

@SUNNYRAINWIND 6970!

[elias1995ish]

the 260GTX only has 192 ? wtf man do u know a thing about cuda cores and sp ? 1cuda core = 5 stream proccessors so 192x5= 960 , the gtx 260 has 960 stream processors :O

[29ThaCarter]

what does this 1 cost? ;) pls answer on my channel :)

[Zircon4Productions]

my GT 240 has 300Mhz memory clock-- 4870 - 3600Mhz-- I feel small :D 

[TRchotbal]

dam i bought this grafic and i put it inside my motherboard and i see that i only have 1 connector and not 2 :(

[Altezza447]

@TRchotbal same thing happento mecab buy connector useone of urplugs

[TRchotbal]

@Altezza447 sold it with more money than i payed to buy it and bought a hd5570 and saved some money for myself :)

[randysamady]

boom

[SPECTRE9200]

I like VGA. But I don't like CRT's. Also when it comes down to image quality between a LCD DVI monitor and an LCD VGA monitor.......honestly they look the same to me. IMO

[Vickramjason]

i have only one 6 pin connector, and HD 4870 needs 2x6 pin connector..

What should i do..??

plzz do tell me...!

coz im gonna buy a graphic card on Monday.

First i wanted 9800GT by replacing it from 9600GT but after your wonderful detailed review on HD 4870 and HD 4850 i thought i should go with Radeon.

[Kloborgg]

@Vickramjason Uh, first of all, don't go with any of those cards; these are like 2-3 year old cards. Go with an HD 5770 or GTX 460 to get better performance and DX11. Second, if you only have 1 PCI-E 6pin connector, you should still be fine, as most cards come with a 2 4-pin molex to PCI-E adapter.

[masmotors]

i have 4830 waiting for this i tried the 5 series dont work on my pc. and for money this bettr than geforce., back on 5 series i tried dont work all nvidea work do i need sum adapter. it lights up but no monitor i have 5r5310f model pc

[pcheavenchicagogamin]

@masmotors power you need more power psu 600w

[pcheavenchicagogamin]

@masmotors power you need more power psu 600w

AND Drivers make sure you have all drivers

[45thetank]

i three 5970 in crossfire x and every in drtx 11 and higest settings

[HeLeX63]

@45thetank Lol, you can only literally have 2 ATI 5970's in crossfire. Because they already have 2 gpu's in one, you can only have two of them which brings it up to 4 gpu's. That is the limit as to how many video cards or gpu's you can have in a system

[TheColdHotdog]

Racist

[PuffSmelly]

will it run minecraft haha

[HeLeX63]

My Quad GTX 580 Super Overclock SLI will smash the 6990 in crossfire and the next 2 generations of AMD video cards

[SupersayainG2]

@HeLeX63 And raise you electrical bill up by 40000%!!!!

Unbelievable!!!!!!

[DrZoutan]

Will this beast work fine with a 450W PSU? :-s

[DayTimeMedia]

@DrZoutan Yeah should work fine, look at some power benchmarks but with like 4gb ddr2 ram and a dual core processor you should be fine, i had a 500w on my old setup with this card and it was fine :)

[DrZoutan]

@DayTimeMedia thank's alot! i only got 3GB of ram... and a q6600 2.4GHZ no OC...if it wont work i'll plug out my DVD drive... barely use it anyway..

[DayTimeMedia]

@DrZoutan Nah you wont have to unplud anything, it will be absolutley fine my friend.

[DrZoutan]

@DayTimeMedia thanks!

[PirateKing1256]

Nividia Ultra 20% Cooling EX! version 6410.20 PLUS.

VS

ATI Radeon 9.0Tera 7540.2 PCIex99 Mega 3 with CL96.

Nobody knows...

They like to give sophisticated and complex sounding names.

[JSSJR90]

In the next 10 years we will see cards named like this:

""ATI Radeon 107060.4.5 Bad Ass Shit."" or,

""Nvidia GTX Fire Ultra Bad Ass GTR 10760.5.7 Bitch!""

[ARom5000]

@JSSJR90 lol true

[dexdervinzippo]

@JSSJR90 LOL

[nightjosh]

@JSSJR90 There'll be not such GTX in 10 years.

Probably Nvidia Gayforce ONBT 15.14141.14 Direct Double X 15.

ONBT ( Only noobs buy this)

[x1zigzag1x]

@JSSJR90 lol

[SUBW00F3RR]

@JSSJR90 Lol the GTX 990 shits in your face edition XD

[masteircheef]

@JSSJR90 with a core clock of 1,990,750 and a memory clock... well you get the point

[MrMike655]

4870 great cards i have 4 in crossfirex and still smash every game with highest settings.

truley amazing framerates

[wesclev83]

@MrMike655 4???!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

[harritaco]

can someone answer this question please? is it possible to cross fire with a 580watt psu?

[M4rio21]

@harritaco you more than likely could only if you have a good brand name with 80+ efficiency, but your cutting it close.

[harritaco]

@M4rio21 its a coolmax

[CatXFlash]

Is this going up agaisnt gtx460? and how does it do agaisnt it because I am returning ,my GTX and am planing to get this.

[moldycheeto1]

can this work on a hp pavlilon p6310y? Please let me know i have a 600 wat psu and i have the 6 pins please let me know quick

[Lubotsulat]

Hey guys my 9800gt just died on me and i need a new card,plus my warranty and the card is expired so i have no choice but to buy a new card,so is this worth the extra cash because i was thinking on buying the 4850 instead,plus this only has a hdmi port for the monitor,while mine has a vga port so i still need to buy a converter,also my psu may not have 2 pci connectors(im not sure),so is this worth the cash?

[DahakaGR8]

@Lubotsulat I'm giving up on my 9800gt too and I'll opt for 4870. I think it's features are awesome compared to its price

[GreatFairyWars]

If you're in a hurry on a budget PC to play Final Fantasy XIV in time for the pre-release, then this card will definitely do the job and is worth the buy. It won't get you max settings, but the game is gorgeous anyway without them and you can do that later. You'll be able to play the game better than on the upcoming PS3 by far, in passes the minor and recommended settings, and has a little headroom too.

[GreatFairyWars]

Playing Final Fantasy XIV on this until I can get a 5000 series in CrossfireX. It's no dream computer, but it'll be able able to handle the lower settings just fine and healthy, which are gorgeous. I'm a person who still loves Final Fantasy XI, and still manages to be amazed at PlayStation 1 emulating. So this is more than gorgeous and worth it. Handles the lower of the two Benchmark options on FFXIV with 2700+ Score.

(Though technically mine is an HIS, they're both 4870s)

[csplayer12345]

3:12 he just flip'd me off...

[wasssabio]

wait, does this work on amd? wtf he keeps saying this is good for intel boards n shtuff

[DeltaPhi79]

@wasssabio Dude... AMD *MADE* the card. It'll work, but some Intel processors back when this was released were faster than AMD made ones so.... Yeah it'll work but maybe not as well. (MAYBE)

[KRandMJ]

Does anyone have any advice on what graphics card I should get? I have a Intel Pentium E5400 @ 2.7 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, and a GeForce 8500gt (Windows xp), and my psu is either 300-500 watts... Gotta double check though...

[MYMAnarchy]

@KRandMJ HD4770 dude

[freaktube4]

@KRandMJ jus get a 9600gt xD

[blizz2k]

now i would get the 5770 with 1 gb. its really better. i had both.

[komplex71]

@blizz2k why would the 512 mb even be comparable as in whats the advantage to having 512mb of memory?

[9kuuby9]

@blizz2k 5770 is better but not worth if upgrading from HD4870 to HD5770

[komplex71]

should i get the 4870 or the 5770?

[Loche1337]

@komplex71 Get the 5770, dx11 and if you overclock it you get better frames. :)

[komplex71]

@Loche1337 if i get a over clocked version will the pci slot stay the same, because i was looking at some over clocked ones and the slots were pci xpress 2.1x not 2.0 so i dont know if my mobo wil fit it

[Loche1337]

@komplex71 get a stock 5770 and overclock it. I had a stock 5770, pci-e 2.0.

[komplex71]

@Loche1337 is hard to over clock it urself or is it easy? also do i have to have any equipment to over clock it?

[Loche1337]

@komplex71 It is easy to overclock, use Catalyst Control senter aka CCC.

[komplex71]

@Loche1337 aight thx man!

[phatmonk6195]

is the 4770 better?

[saikimimaru]

I cant wait to grab this card. One more week hopefully. $105 used on Amazon.

[klote2314]

this guy wants his graphics cards dead after his review about the card

never hold the card like this nubcase here

he is giving a wrong image he talks about the card so smart

yet he holds the video cards in the most stupid way!

if you dont want your card to die within the first day DONT HOLD IT LIKE THIS IDIOT!

i really want to se this person the card like it shoul!

[silenceyouidiot]

@klote2314 The fact that their a company that gets these cards in mass amount of numbers they should care if their going to damage a model card that's not being used in any pc?

[klote2314]

@silenceyouidiot

he setting a wrong image dont ever hold a card lke this newbies that want to buy cards for the first time and look at this idiot will do the same thing as he did!

[silenceyouidiot]

@klote2314 I'll try and say it so you can understand.

This card is a model card, meaning display only! He handles it so that we can have a better look at it.

[ownedufoo2]

Hop off Logan's dick. Albert's awesome.

[krsjoker]

who cares who is funny or not! this guy covers all the things that you need man !

[aarea31]

PORRA DDR5, essa placa é monstruosa!

Deve ser carona!

[squid262]

1:10 I think he was gonna say rape lol.

[wiganmadlad]

will this work well with a q8300 quad 4 gig ram and a 500w psu will i be able to run all games on high ?

[jmeyer722]

Can you crossfire a 4870 and a 4890 form different companies and get a big boost in benchmarks?

[ipnhesbro]

not that smart they both have a diffrent GPU one has rv 770 other one has rv 790 so it is possible but not that smart a 4870 can go with another 4870 or 4870 x2 4890 with 4890

[duchaneaux]

no, but you can crossfire two 4870's from different brands, as well as 4890's from different brands.

[btymciw]

can you go up to 1920x1080

[selfish3r1k96]

@btymciw you can but on some games it dosnt run 100% smooth. If you have a nice processor it might.

[iGuy321994]

what map is that on cod4?

[Victordove]

I can't tell whether these benchmarks were done with crossfire or not, the guy doesn't specify.

[q62fm]

hahaha 5:30

"we wanna know about crysis"

that guys awesome

[frazzer316]

will a asus eah 4870 512 mb do whit a atx power supply 500w thinks it highest amp is 28 A

[yinzx7]

How much is this?

[xuxa29]

I'm going to buy a i7 pc with a hd4870. I can buy either a intel dx58so or a asus rampage II gene motherboard. Any recomendations?

[alien3000ful]

asus always  and make sure that the 4870 is from XFX

[m3g1]

was this test on crossfire with the ati or not?

[frazzer316]

will a axp 500w power suppluy make this thing going??

[tucci06]

lulz talk about a bottleneck...im going to end up buying an asus socket 939 mobo from ebay just because in 04 I screwed up and grabbed AGP just as it got owned by PCI-e...so I've never had anything later than my 6800gt agp as the 7 series were the last ones that supported agp...so I'll be running an AMD Athlon fx 3500+...with this card....rofl /facepalm

[EthanDoesBmx]

Hopefully this will be easier on WoW then my old shitty Radeon X1300 >.>

[cokacutter]

@EthanDoesBmx my 8400gs rapes wow and this is better than the 9800gt so yes you can annihilate wow

[igothotsforpaddy]

Hey, is this card compatible with the "intel Core 2 duo E8400"?

thankyou

[halfpol]

yes! But i Highly recomendet buy 3-4 core processor!!!!!in future athlon II x3 pwned e8700

[MultiGive]

@halfpol what is a e8700??

[zXdiehardXz]

yeah lol

[MultiGive]

@igothotsforpaddy of course!

[Usul573]

Don't let someone tell you the Cord 2 Duo e8400 is bad, it's great.

[davimax100]

i can run crysis an assassin´s creed at very high.

[pokdspok]

I like the other guy (the crazy one)

this one's not funny :(

[nelizmastr]

@pokdspok logan ;)

[xUGxActiveGear]

@nelizmastr :(

[nelizmastr]

@xUGxActiveGear tbh, Albert is quite good, but he lacks humor. Logan was good and funny.

[hallal55]

@nelizmastr what happend to logan?

[tndrckr]

@pokdspok you know he has a youtubbbe chanel i think its

freakinglogan

[pokdspok]

@tndrckr I didn't know :p

I'm gonna check it out, thanks for the tip

[tndrckr]

@pokdspok my bad its razetheworld and freakinglogan

[pokdspok]

@tndrckr lol :P

thanks again :D

[Arnoud1987000]

@pokdspok

lol you mean logan :P he quit...

[toxaris71]

@Arnoud1987000 actually he had to move

[Casemaster3000]

@toxaris71 What happened to albert? I really like his presentations,. Not like tiger direct though, they have gone astray from awesome PC components to a bunch of random crap.

[toxaris71]

@Casemaster3000 i have no idea :(

[9kuuby9]

@pokdspok Logan :DD ?

Albert is also good but they are both gone now , they put a idiot in the show for everything now............

[pimpednammer]

Does this card run on PCI express 2.0? or 1.0?

[IBlueNinjaI]

2.0 but can run with 1.0 too

[latlonelyboyz]

yes it does but the bandwitdh note same like PCI-E Gen2 2.0

1.0 bandwitdh is slower

[G4meTesters]

@latlonelyboyz

There will be NO performance loss when u use it in a PCIe 1.0 slot instead of PCIe 2.0 slot because there is no card that uses the full 2.0 bandwidth.

[latlonelyboyz]

u got both?

PCI-E 2.0 and 1.0?

i got both of them n i tested

a bit slower running on PCI-E ver 1.0

card new release are full support with 2.0

go and test it and u can do comment here

TQ

[G4meTesters]

@latlonelyboyz

I got both, yes.

Maybe the 1.0 is a bit slower, but that's only when u use like a GTX295.

U tested on 2 different system? Maybe the 2.0 mobo was better or had a better CPU? There are more things that play a role.

[latlonelyboyz]

i test using same cpu

test HD4870 using diff version of PCI-E also got diff benchmark

[G4meTesters]

@latlonelyboyz

Also the same motherboard?

[latlonelyboyz]

if same mobo how could PCI-E verion not same?

what a question is it?

if u said NO performance diff between PCI-E 2.0 and 1.0, so how could u test it?

tell me...

ok now i want ask u back..

if u said no diff performance between 2.0 and 1.0 so...how did u know thats no diff between it? u tested it on same mobo?

if same mobo...dont lie...

hahahahaha

[DAROMSninja]

I bought the xfx hd 4870 1gb, and it was defective. I RMA'd it, and their sending me a replacement. Hopefully it won't have the same problems.. These cards run hot as fuck.

[alien3000ful]

thats why u should use the manual fan control and keep it no hotter than 60 C

....but yeah some cards fail, cant get away from that

[DAROMSninja]

@alien3000ful , I got a replacement in the mail. Put it in, and it had the same exact problems the first had. The problem was on my end. Either power supply, or just sheer heat.

[shoober616]

holy shit im so happy i saw this. i was about to get a 9800gtx+. im deff gonna go with this card. this will be my first ever ati card. and im very excited to see wat radeon has to over.

[FELIPEPKPK]

ill replace my HD4670 with this one soon

[IBlueNinjaI]

Dont do that. :/ I would do a better move then for like 5850 :P DX11 and every thing :)

[UrbanKiller122]

See if i have a DDR3 graphics card (Nvidia GT220 (Heap of shite)) will DDR5 work on my motherboard? i know memory isnt backwards/forwards compatible.

[kostya001]

yeah it will work...as long as u have a pci-express 2.0, u should be okay.

[jakenicolaides]

i have a corsair 450w with a quad amd, caan i run this??

[donkeyboy2k7]

is this 1gb or 512mb? i forgot if it tells you in vid :D

[agentgamma]

:D I am getting it tomorrow.

Can't wait to try it with Far Cry 2

[ashantha1000]

man,its awesome.I wish i had 1 of those.I have a useless NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT. Cant use max settings

[donkeyboy2k7]

@ashantha1000 imagine how i feel, i got a galaxy 8400GS (256mb) lol

[mahnameiswin]

I have 650 Watt supply.. is that good enough?

[1TheBlueWii1]

@mahnameiswin

Yeah that should be good enough, unless if your going to have 2 of these at once, then you might need a 800 Watt.

[mahnameiswin]

Why they hell would ANYONE need 2 of these? Thanks :)

[1TheBlueWii1]

Double the gaming performance :p

[mahnameiswin]

My monitor only goes to 1680X1280 (think thats right)....So i really doing need it lol

[ogat11]

yes it only needs 450watt

[freaktube4]

can i put it with a 400 watt corsair with a 1 dvd rw and athlon ii x3 425

[ogat11]

probly not u should try it if anything it wont hurt ur comp it just wont runs n youll know

[freaktube4]

i cant risk my money

[freaktube4]

well i hv seen a video where a gtx 260 core 216 is with a corsair 400 watt psu

[mahnameiswin]

Life time warranty on these?

[inlacrima2013]

guys i just got this card in the mail 2 days ago, and all i can say is wow, i max settings on every single game ( wow , cod 4 , left for dead 2 ) i will be trying max settings on crysis soon as i buy the game, but for only $150, theres not a card on the market that can match the performance for the price, AWESOME card

[HarpyTV]

best card EVER?! That's going on the shopping list :O

[XxshadowsquadxX]

wait does this mean that i have to have 2 pci express slots or 2 i just have to have 2 slots in the case

[joeb0]

how about that 2% yield? I guess you're embarrassed at this statement you made a year ago.

[beavers42891]

lol what? this thing sucks ass Nvidia still kicking ass a year later :)

[joeb0]

Nvidia went to manufacture 2 sets of GTX300s (416 chips) and 7 came back working. SEVEN. that's 1.7% of all the GTX300 processors they went to produce.

[joeb0]

semiaccurate(dot)com/2009/09/1­5/nvidia-gt300-yeilds-under-2/­

[joeb0]

techspot(dot)com/news/36223-nv­idia-suffers-twopercent-yield-­on-gt300.html

[joeb0]

I mean 4 sets as in 4 x 104

[beavers42891]

big whiptydo they will get em fixed... who cares even the 200 card series kicks all the Ati cards in the scrotum

[joeb0]

I like the ATI cards more because the design is in parallel instead of in series so you'd be able to put any card together in crossfire and display from every port. While in SLI it only displays from one card and the first is master and the others are slave. In crossfire, there's no master or slave it's in parallel.

[CRW5900]

lol what does that mean?

[joeb0]

@CRW5900

409 of 416 cards they produced didn't work.

[Enaphoolad]

The funny thing is crysis/crysis warhead runs beautifully on even a 9800gt 512mb if you know how to work cvars. I am so buying this card, warhead gives me 35fps average on custom enthusiast 1920x1080 already because of the cvar blessings and i cant imagine what this card is gonna do. Tiger, you guys are awesome.

[CooperSnow]

Holy I only get like 16fpx @ 800x600 lol.

[ryamactica]

4870 ice q4 or gtx 260 core 216

[poopNshare]

go with the 260, slightly more expensive but better. You get what you pay.

[KarlUKmidlands]

How is the 260 better when the 4870 beat it in every benchmark in this review?

[poopNshare]

well maybe in this particular review/card. But every other benchmark, 260 is better. Plus this card is more expensive at 229.99. Thats prob y

[KarlUKmidlands]

Ahh are you talking about US $, beause in the UK both cards are about the same price of about £120 - £130 now.

[wannabeers]

whats the price of this and whats the price of the 57.. series?

[donkeyboy2k7]

@wannabeers get the 4890 or buy the 4850x2 (one card btw)

[wannabeers]

and what's the price?

[poopNshare]

4870x2

[leito1987]

very good thank you very much =)

[bruceko11]

hey dude is this better than the GTX 260+??

[neider1]

yes, but it takes a little bit more Watt

[Andreas3228]

What settings are u benchmarking the 4870 for crysis. High or Very high for the result of 40fps on 1680x1050 resolution.

[reetismatic]

"750 mhz core up from 625 from its little brother the 3850" ?????? you mean 4850... lol

[TazarZero]

He said that quite a few times, 3850. lol. I was hoping I wasn't just hearing things.
