There must be something wrong there - 1kW and it can't power two 4850s?

I doubt even a tri-SLi GTX280 system would draw that much power.

798W if my memory serves me right from the glimpse of the page I quickly went over before.
 
Are tho's specs ture?? if so i reckon that will be as fast if not faster than the green's top dog

Radeon HD 4870 - > 55 nm technical process, frequency 850/1050/3870 MHz, 480 stream processors, 32 textural units, 16 units Rop's, 256- bit system bus, 1 Gb memory GDDR- 5, TDP is not more than 157 W, price

Those specs are WAAAAAAY out. They were the original rumoured specifications.

Something very wrong. Surprised the reviewer didn't pick up on it. Looks to me like a faulty PSU since I'm running an X1900XTX in my rig at the moment which uses over 300W on load about the same as the 4850s in XFIRE and I have a 580W PSU.

More like:

55nm process
750MHz core speed.
3600MHz (effective) GDDR5
800 shaders
256-bit memory interface.
40 TMUs
16 ROPs
 
Qudos to ATi qudos!

This is possibly THE single best thing to happen to them in a long time! They are now DEFINATELY back in the game after around 2 years of seemingly confused wandering around the graphics world unable to keep up! I am genuinely relieved this product is achieving some results and at some price! This makes the world of high end performance more affordable and more attractive to the consumer! This in turn makes PC gaming more attractive and affordable to the masses to be enjoyed at the greatest standards! NVidia will need to up their game next time!

I can see some mega price wars come the next new releases never mind what will happen in the next few weeks :D
 
ahh, thought you meant mine :D

did the HD3 series xfire with the HD2 series?

if so you think the HD2 and HD4 series will?

I just got a stop gap HD X2900PRO for £35 (as my 7800GT was BSODing and aritafcting due to memory). ill most likely sell the X2900PRO, but if it can xfire, then why not. X2900PRO in the 4x slot and 4850 in the 16x slot in my P5K-E :)

4000MHz (effective) GDDR5
800 shaders
256-bit memory interface.
40 TMUs
16 ROPs

:eek:
