The Radeon 4870X2 is almost here! ATI scheduled the fastest card on the market to be launched next week.
There are several websites that were allowed to preview the 4870X2 and all of them came to the conclusion that It beats Geforce GTX 280 in most of the tests. Most analysts are tempted to believe that ATI’s card will also be faster than the upcoming GTX 280 55nm version.
ATI went through some rough times last year, but now things seem to be clearing up for the Canadians. ATI really needs to steal NVIDIA’s performance crown this time. The single GPU Radeon 4870 took even NVIDIA by surprise, forcing the green guys to lower the prices and change the strategy.
Apparently, the 2GB of memory that won't really make the card faster than the 1GB version, but it could prove to be perfect for general purpose computing solutions. The standard version of the 4870X2 card will be available for $540 due to the amount of GDDR5 memory present, but ATI’s partners will certainly come up with overclocked models that may push the price a bit higher.
The Catalyst driver that was specifically written for the new card has been ready since the 25th of July. ATI is now waiting for the desired volumes to be reached. Worldwide availability should begin the 21st of August.
