| Radeon 4870 to sell for 229 Gigabyte's Radeon 4870 is already listed to sell for 229. We still dont 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 weve 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. http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?op...62&Ite mid=34

| 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. |

| 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 |
