We know most of you just care about the gaming performance so we are going to be to the point on specifications to give you the information you need to know so you can hurry up and start gaming!

Radeon HD 4800 Series

AMD is taking on a new strategy with video cards. They want to give you the “perfect gaming solution for $200-$300.” That is certainly an admirable goal. We know that NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 280 offers a great gameplay experience, but it also costs over $600. AMD’s strategy is a scalable one; think smaller GPUs in parallel. In fact, the new ATI Radeon HD 4800 series GPUs are only 16mm across versus NVIDIA’s 24mm across on its GTX 200 series GPU. The Radeon HD 4800 series GPUs are indeed small; they are literally the size of a dime.
