The Radeon HD 4850 and HD 4870 cards are changing history as we speak. Stocks are depleted as soon as the merchants are refreshing them, and producers that were only using NVIDIA GPUs for their cars are considering the ATI solutions now, too. In this new situation, NVIDIA overclocked the 9800 GTX and called it 9800 GTX+, to face the Radeon HD 4850, but what do you say if I mention a factory overclocked Radeon HD 4870?
"Sweeeeeeet," that's all I can say for now, but here's what Diamond has to say about its upcoming product, the overclocked ATI Radeon HD 4870, expected to be exclusively available, at least in its early days, from Smooth Creations :"The Diamond Radeon HD 4870 XOC Black Edition was clocked to kick some ass. We didn’t just want a fast card out in the market, we wanted the fastest card that could kick the living daylights and bust some performance records. We wanted a card that kicked the competitions teeth into the curb, and that’s exactly what our engineers accomplished."
Yes, I know the card in the image is a Diamond HD 3870, but since we don't have any pictures with this new 4870, that should be fine, for now. The new card is going to have a pretty long name, so be sure to remember to add the "Diamond “Unlocked” Radeon HD 4870 XOC Black Edition" to your shopping list. Why? Well, 800MHz core and 512MB GDDR5 memory operating at 4400MHz, up from 750MHz/3600MHz on reference design ATI Radeon HD 4870, how's that? Even more, you can push this card higher, as sources from Diamond Multimedia claim.
Mario Gastelum, director of product development and engineering at Diamond, said "The firmware was custom designed to enable end users to go beyond the normal over clocked speeds and allow them to push their cards for higher performance via the Catalyst Control Center. The GPU’s custom firmware has been unlocked to push cards to GPU settings of up to 950MHz and Memory of up 1200MHz."
Awesome! No pricing is available yet, but since this card may beat the 280 GTX, and come for a lower price tag than that, I am sure Diamond's "Black Beauty" will become the best HD 4870. Anyway, I have one demand for the PCB of the card - any color you want, guys, as long as it's black! Thank you! ;)
