Features

Graphics Card Interface : PCI Express x16

What's Hot

Four DVI ports, 2GB of GDDR3 memory, superior cooling, improved 256-bit memory bus

What's Not

Prohibitively expensive, bulky dimensions, pipped at the post by NVIDIA’s GTX 280 card.

The Final Word

If you're a firm believer in the 'behemoth GPU', Sapphire's Radeon HD 4850 x2 will do little to sway your opinion. While it performed solidly enough in our benchmarks, it failed to match NVIDIA's single-GPU GTX 280 offering. Nevertheless, it remains a good option for any self-respecting Radeon fan with a penchant for monitors.
