PCstats Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 Videocard Review
Today PCSTATS is testing Palit’s latest videocard, the Radeon HD4870X2, sporting a pair of ATI/AMD’s powerful 4870 (Radeon 770) GPUs. This dual slot card is intended to provide gamers with the power of a dual video card Crossfire setup in a single unit, and features a huge 2GB of onboard GDDR5 video memory, enough to keep both GPUs fed and happy.
The Palit Radeon HD4870X2, retails for around $550 CDN. This is an interesting price entry point, considerably lower than nVidia’s original price for the geForce 280, which the twin HD4870 GPUs are aimed squarely at 
dethroning. We’ll have to see what happens now that nVidia has slashed prices…
Our review card came bundled with all the accessories you’d expect, including a crossfire bridge adaptor, DVI-to-analog converters, a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor for Hi-Def output, a component video dongle and some distinctly frog-centric box artwork…
