Default Radeon 4870 to sell for €229

Gigabyte's Radeon 4870 is already listed to sell for €229. We still don’t know when it should be available but we know that the official launchdate is Wednesday 25th of June. The American price for this card in etail is $329 and I guess that €229 is a great price for the card that should end up at least fifteen percent faster than the Radeon 4850 that we’ve seen before.

Radeon 4870 runs at 750MHz core and 1800MHz memory and it is a dual slot card that comes with 512MB of GDDR5 memory with 256bit memory interface.

I hope they are wrong... 15% faster than the 4850 means the 4870 is beaten by the lower priced 9800GTX+.

LegitReviews overclocked an 9800GTX+ to 855/2200/2550! A ~5-8% overclock that yielded 15% gains across the board. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/732/1/

I went back at looked at their results, my mix up. They are comparing their overclock % to the original GTX overclock.

The performance gains are tangible though, GTX+ only lost one benchmark, OC'd GTX+ won every benchmark, some by significant margins.

Techgage reports the 4850 OCs very poorly, WAY to hot.

4870 is just a higher clocked 4850, extra 125MHz on the core from what I've read, right?

not quiet, it seems that ATI has something like the Shader Clock in their new cards and that's where the big difference comes from
