    It's that time AMD today unleashes their all new high-end product the Radeon 4850 and 4870 X2. For those of you who lived under a rock and do not know what the X2 actually stands for it's as simple...

    That's a great review, Hilbert! Thanks ;)

    I've seen prices here in NL at around 420 and 430 euros. That's about 100 more than for my current card. But they are definitely not in the same league. That's for sure.

    I will sure get one soon.

    The editor changed it right? It was totally correct the first time you typed it out. ;)

    Anyways - baahh $550...grumble grumble grumble...


    Edit* BAAAWW Fudzilla saying its 599 msrp...I hope Newegg see's the price hilbert and all the other reviewers are posting. If this thing is over 550 I am definately not buying it...

    Strange though, other sites shows CF doing better (@1920 or 2560). Maybe it's games or drivers?

    Gr8 review as always, what i wouldnt give for a few hundred quid rite now lol

    anyway noticed on Overclockers.co.uk that the Ati Powercolor X2 comes with GRID.

    Remember Something on Page 3 about u updating info on this card if a game comes shipped with it.

    Same here in Norway. Cheapest I've found so far is 3500 NOK or around 430 Euros. I don't think that's too bad at all, I payed more for my 8800GTX when it was new!

    /Damn, I'm really tempted to just order one straight away, even though I promised myself I'd wait a week or two. :nerd:
