Hi all,

We have just published a review of *AMD's ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics
card* - if you could post a link on your site that would be very much
appreciated.

*/"AMD has done a great job with the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and it has
snatched the crown for the fastest graphics card in the world back from
Nvidia in the process. Like we've said though, it's not all rosy and
there are drawbacks associated with buying a Radeon HD 4870 X2, just
like there are with any other multi-GPU configuration. As long as
you're prepared to accept them, then the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is well worth
considering if you've got that kind of cash to throw around.

The GeForce GTX 280's new price point makes it seem like an attractive
buy as well, with cards starting anywhere from about £275 including
VAT. If anything though, the Radeon HD 4870 X2 makes a single Radeon HD
4870 or GeForce GTX 260 look like better options [i]today[/i] because
it's almost as if there's too much horsepower on tap here with AMD's new
flagship card.

Right now, the Radeon HD 4870 X2's most impressive performance gains can
really only be seen at the lofty resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 or with
high levels of Anti Aliasing at 1,920 x 1,200 -- at lower resolutions,
or lower levels of AA, the gains just aren't there at all. However,
given that there's a slew of new (and hopefully more graphically
intense) games about to hit the shelves before Christmas, picking up a
Radeon HD 4870 X2 if you've got a 24-inch widescreen doesn't seem like
such a bad idea -- you can play today's games with stupidly high levels
of AA and hopefully tomorrow's games at native resolution with no big
compromises to image quality."
