Hello fellow editors! :)

Tech ARP ( http://www.techarp.com/ <http://www.techarp.com/> ) has just
posted the ATI Radeon HD 4870 Overclocking Guide.

Quote - As we saw in our review of the ASUS EAH4870 Radeon HD 4870
graphics card, the Radeon HD 4870 was very much superior to high-end
graphics cards like the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+. It was also about
2-2.5X faster than its predecessor, the Radeon HD 3870. Now, that is
what you call a quantum leap ahead in performance!

Of course, this does not mean we are not going to try overclocking the
card. Even though the Radeon HD 4870 will handily tackle practically
every 3D game out there, there is still a dragon left to slay and that
dragon is called Crysis. The Radeon HD 4870 delivered an average frame
rate of 38 fps at 1600 x 1200 and 32 fps at 1920 x 1200. Very good but
it would be nice to have better frame rates, wouldn't it? So, let's see
how well the Radeon HD 4870 overclocks!

Here's a quote from the guide :-

"The ATI Radeon HD 4870 is based on the long-awaited ATI RV770
GPU, which replaces the RV670 GPU that powered the disappointing ATI
Radeon HD 3870 GPU. Both RV770 and the older RV670 are built on the same
55 nm fabrication process but that's where the similarity ends."
