Sapphire is one of ATI’s launch partners, their product follows reference design, they do add a few extra software titles to increase the total value. The HD4870X2 is as multimedia capable as a single HD4870 and to help you on your way you get a full version of Cyberlink PowerDVD 7 and their DVD Creation Suite.

Inside the package we also found 3DMark Vantage with a Professional License. Certainly a fine technology demo to show the powers of your VGA card, but not very interactive.

two complete systems overclocked running with 2x24" monitors and 9600 GT cards draw as much power as one single HD 4870 X2 setup
