ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2

This is it, ATI’s newest GPU, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2. It’s just like the regular 4870 except for the x2... which means it’s actually TWO 4870s! ATI’s newest card also ain’t cheap... but it’s oh-so worth the price of $549. That’s cheaper than buying two 4870s anyways.

The 4870’s board has two ATI Radeon HD 4870 GPUs with 1GB of GDDR5 memory each. The card has a new PCIe Gen 2 interconnect that offers increased GPU-to-GPU bandwidth and brings back PCI Express 2.0 support. It only needs one x16 PCI Express slot, so you won’t need a CrossFire-enabled motherboard unless you want to run two X2 cards together for quad-GPU fun. Each X2 card has an 8-pin (2x4-pin) and 6-pin (2x3-pin) power connector for external power. ATI recommends using a 650W power supply for a single card and 1000W for two cards. It also has DirectX 10.1 support and shader model 4.1. You can buy it at local GPU retailers such as http://www.newegg.com
