What's Hot

Two Radeon HD 4870s in one, unparalleled speed and power for the asking price, it's the most powerful graphics card on the market (which makes it good for boasting)

What's Not

Inconsistent benchmark results (especially in Crysis), power connectors are poorly placed

The Final Word

Despite some mixed benchmark results, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 x2 remains an appropriately high-end offering that will satisfy most enthusiasts. However, after the stellar performance of recent ATI cards we can't help but feel a little disappointed.
