ATI HD4850X2 anyone?

[spicypixel]

More importantly, any info on stocking @ OcUK?

Im sure it was supposed to be released this month but I have heard nothing else since the lauch of the 4870x2.

Hmmm, so we're looking at about £220.

Would like to know of any info on date of stock?

they're kinda flooding the gap aren't they between the 4850 and the 4870X2???

A lot of options, hopefully making pricing more competitive!

/edit, already in OZ!

Thats a 4870 X2.

Not really a trick looking at that at worst its around 8% faster than a gtx280 and at best around 33% and if it overclocks well with volt mods a hell of a bargain. Hopefully its cheaper also.

hmmmm it actually says it's both cards, look again/.

I'm going to guess that shop is playing silly buggers though, stupid pricing as well!

I saw that, i was just going off the vendor code and the description which says EAH4870X2-HTDI-2G.

Be interesting to see the pricing on these, ATi's really kicking Nvidia in the nuts.

Hehe, nice one Strife212. Sad thing is, some people actually fall for it.

Some people do but i am betting the majority of people can read a simple graph nv had one around a year ago that made things look much worse was like 1 small red bar then 1 huge green bar think it was 8800gt v 3870 was much worse just read the graph then it all comes together. Still shows the 4850x2 to be faster in which ever way you read it over 1 gtx280 we already had a ocuk forums user showing this was gonna be the case as he reviwed a 280 v his crossfire 4850's.

The funniest was an overclocked Radeon 9700 I had once, on the back of the box it had a graph against a stock card, it cut the stock one off literally at the end so it seemed ten times faster

This 4850x2 is looking good though

 

[TheRealDeal]

Although not ten times faster lol it was a revolutionary card at the time was much faster than the gf4 ti by a long shot. Just need some common sense when looking at the graphs.

Looking back it wasnt actually GF4, edited my post ^^

And yeah, Radeon 9700 was legendary
