TechRadar Review: ATI Radeon HD 4870

Just how much are you willing to pay to have the fastest graphics card? That's always been a tricky question for PC gaming enthusiasts.

But with the release of ATI's latest performance graphics chipset, the Radeon HD 4870, it's become a real conundrum.

That's because AMD's graphics subsidiary has given up chasing the outright 3D performance crown.

Great card for the price...

and the HD4850 is too a great card, cheaper then this one.

ati are going to do very well with these cards, they are not as powerful as the new nvidia cards, but costless than 1/2 the price.

and in these times of financial uncertainty most people don't have a spare £400 for gtx 280
i can buy a quad core cpu and 4870 and still spend less than the cost a gtx280.
