Hello Everyone,



It's been over half a year since the Radeon 4800 series of graphics cards
first arrived, but there are still very much in the limelight. Manufacturers
continue to produce new takes on the Radeon 4800 series and there is a 4800
series product aimed at every consumer segment, from low cost reference
designs to premium solutions with custom cooling. ASUS and Sapphire are two
such manufacturers and they have both recently released new 4800 series
products aimed at the higher end performance segment.



ASUS recently announced a new line-up of video cards under their Republic of
Gamers brand, the Matrix series, and we will be evaluating the new 4850 and
4870 offerings in this article. We'll also be evaluating Sapphire's take on
a pumped up non-reference 4870, which is a member of their premium Toxic
line-up, that will be competing for your dollars in the same price segment
as the Matrix cards. Come on by the site and check them out...
