AMD's new HD4800 GPU's have created quite a stir in the computer world. Offering great performance for a low price they have managed to get Nvidia to cut their prices on most of their new cards just to get in line with AMD's new offerings. While the HD4850 is a nice card it is the HD4870 that many have been waiting for as it not only is clocked higher than the HD4850 but also comes with the new GDDR5 memory promising higher frequencies and of course more performance.

Today we are reviewing a HD4870 card from HIS, the HIS HD4870 512 MB. As the name suggests this is a basic HD4870 with 512 MB GDDR5 memory and the same cooler that we find on reference cards from AMD. We have tested the card in a variety of games and compared it to cards from the previous and the current generation of AMD and Nvidia cards.
