The Radeon HD 4870 X2 PCIE Graphics Card from VisionTEK is a fast and powerful graphics card combined with 2.4 teraFLOPS of graphics horse power, 1600 stream processors and 2 GB of GDDR5 memory. Its dual TeraScale graphics engines work in tandem to deliver fast frame rates, putting the power of graphics supercomputing in the hands of extreme gamers. It is enhanced with 1600 stream processors and 230GB/sec of memory bandwidth that provides the brute power needed to tackle the most intense 3D games. Unparalleled anti-aliasing (AA) and anisotropic filtering delivers striking graphics so you can max out the settings of the most demanding next-generation games. Also, the Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2) frees up your CPU for the most processing-intensive content, including VC-1, H.264 and MPEG-2. The Accelerated Video Transcoding (AVT) allows you to convert videos to H.264 and MPEG-2 formats up to 19x faster than just the CPU running and files can be converted to H.264 and MPEG-2 up to 1.8x faster. Additionally, one can watch Blu-ray content and play HD movies with incredible fidelity, edit videos and convert video formats at lightning-fast speeds and watch standard DVD movies in near high-definition quality with DVD upscaling. With all this and much more to add, it also supports audio technologies using HDMI with 7.1 digital surround sound support. The Radeon HD 4870 X2 is sure to meet your gaming needs.

Defeats Nvidia's Best Card with Ease

"The 4870x2 is easily the top graphics card on the market. This card easily trumps Nvidia's flagship card, the GTX280, and one 4870x2 has even shown to out perform two GTX280s! With a whopping 2GB of Memory, expect pure domination and crisp graphics on today's and tomorrow's games at high resolutions of 1920x1200 and up. Finally you can max out all the settings in a game knowing that this video card won't break a..." Read Full Review »

Another beta tester...

"I've been a long time gamer since the days of 3DFX. Once they were gone, I was off to Nvidia. After my horrible exp. with the BFG 8800GTX OC2 which was a $625 paperweight for the last 2 years, I took a gamble on ATI.

"The 4870 X2 is essentially two Radeon 4870 HD cards running in CrossFire mode packed onto a single board (800 shader cores running at 750MHz, GDDR5 memory at 900MHz), but with one big difference: it has a whopping 2GB of frame buffer (1GB effective).
