PowerColor HD4870 512MB Review @ Overclock3D
Overclock3D reviews the PowerColor HD4870 512MB graphics card, giving it both the “Recommended” and “Value for money” awards. Here’s an excerpt of the final thoughts:
As I’m sure many of us will already know - the HD4870 regardless of manufacturer is one great card. While many will argue that it’s little brother, the HD4850 can do the job just as well with a little bit of overclocking and also leave you with enough money in your back pocket for a take-away dinner, the GDDR5 memory found only on the 4870 allowed us to push the overclocking slider all the way to the edge without even having to test for stability. This was also true for the core clock speed which showed no signs of visual corruption or other artifacting when running the GPU at speeds approaching 800mhz.

In summary, the PowerColor HD4870 manages to combine excellent performance along with a price that is fairly easy to swallow. Even with the beastly HD4870×2 right around the corner, this card is set to be a market favourite for a long time to come.
