Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 1GB
@ 2009/03/09Hardcore gamers may find little added value in the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 1GB right now. If its price were closer to $200 USD, to follow current price drops, it would be a far more attractive product, but at almost $260 it is simply overpriced. It is faster in some games, slower in some games, and merely equal to its competition in other games still. And yet it has a steep and--in our eyes--undeserved price premium. Ultimately the limited 512MB framebuffer per GPU may be a deterrent in today’s games, but then there may be an answer to that in the more expensive 4850 X2 2GB we have yet to look at.
