    Palit HD4870 Review @ Hardware Canucks

    I am still putting the finishing touches on it but all the benches are there. Just got the card yesterday and I will likely sleep for a month after the marathon of 24 hours of benching and content creation....

    Looking forwards to seeing it SKY

    I noticed this in the Bjorn3d review on page 4 :
    "AMD teased us with a slide that showed us the performance a R700, which effectively is two HD4870 GPu’s in Crossfire on one board, in 3Dmark Vantage. The card got 12515 in the Extreme setting and the GPU subscore was 12525."

    That can't be right now ? Surely they meant performance not extreme. I remember hearing that the R700 was getting around 7000 currently ( which makes more sense )

    lol i like how Hardwarecanucks completely excluded the GTX260 from their tests, maybe none on hand, or just that the HD4870 beats it for $100 less
    Great review Sky, and very impressive temperatures on the HR-03. Ready to vmod.....

    I actually haven't received one yet. Every time I ask one of my contacts, I get the shaft. GTX 280? No problem!! GTX 260? I get silence.

    I would have bought one but I am not paying shipping from the EU for that card since none are available here.

    It has been a very, very, very frustratin week.

    I found out where Bjorn3d got their 12k R700 number. This slide here : http://www.hothardware.com/image_pop...cleid=1172&t=a

    If you look at the gpu screen you see 4 gpus which means xfire 4870x2s. That makes more sense

    soooooo, word is that Microcenter may have the card for $239.... Might be store specific @ the OPs local one, price mistake, a special, or just a wild goose chase. A huge YMMV, but getting one for that price would be a steal.
