ThinkComputers: Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 Toxic 512MB Factory Overclocked Video Card Review

ThinkComputers writes: "As I've mentioned before, the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series video cards have really shaken up the VGA market. The architecture of the R700 GPU, the awesome performance it has, and the price points of the new Radeon cards have driven down the prices of all other video cards. The HD 4850, hitting the market at under $200, outperforms the 9800GTX, that entered the market a few months before at $350, and blows away the HD 3850 X2, that was released at the same 350. So we have a new video card for less than $200 that outperforms nearly every single video card from the last generation, save the two most exotic, the 3870 X2 and the 9800GX2.

Needless to say, I was impressed with the HD 4850, but to be honest, I was impressed with the older HD 3850. I personally think that it was overpriced when it entered the market at $225, causing it to be greatly overshadowed by its big brother, the HD 3870, which entered the market at a reasonable $300."

Pros:

- Great performance
- Full Bundle
- Vapor-X cooler works very well

Cons:

- None that I found

I think it should be 100/100 or 10/10 ;)

karlostomy6044d ago

should I get a new PC with 4850 x2 (when it's released) or with a 4870?

Or should i get a 360 arcade with the money i would have spent on ONE 4850?

Sony is now remastering games with 71s on metacritic.

Like that's a judge of anything
This game got scored before it was released.

Days gone is 85+. It got heavily marked down at launch for bugs where as others get a free pass for that. It's a fantastic game.

I spoiled myself by modding this game on my PC. Genuinely one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Whilst this remaster looks nice it just doesn't compare to that sadly. It shows the effort that these remasters could put in if they wanted

REDGUM1h ago

I so hope this game or DLC for those of us who own the original sells well.
Ive said it before, its an underrated game for sure & was unfairly judged upon release.
Please try this game if you haven't already.

For those who say 'i won't purchase digital only' you can pickup a hard copy for 5 bucks here in Australia, then add the DLC and you have a superb game for $20 or so.

Give it a shot, tell me I'm wrong After completing the game.

Game on gamers.

Review - Steel Seed (PC) | WayTooManyGames

WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "Steel Seed has everything that I love: explosive set pieces, stealth-focused gameplay and souls-like combat. Unfortunately, none of these elements work together here. Each part felt undercooked for an experience that I cannot recommend to anyone. Despite this, there’s a lot of potential there for something greater, and I hope we get to see a more focused game next."
