alexander Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 The Radeon HD 4870 X2 sports 2GB of GRRD5 memory. It is capable of 2.4 teraflops of processing power from a pair of 750MHz GPUs and some 1600 stream processors. First time in many years where ATI has outengineered NVidia, worth a read :hihi: AMD rolls out new cards - vnunet.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 because its a dual core video card that does an insane amount of computation and will be able to run a lot of serious crunching, whether you are into movie production or gaming, the card is utterly INSANE :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
