First ATI Radeon HD 4870 and HD 4850 Pictures Emerge

malware · May 26, 2008, 05:16 PM

The Taiwanese website version of Tom's Hardware is hosting a brand new first look at ATI's Radeon HD 4800 series cards. Unfortunately, if you want to read something more than the posted pictures and the "Redefine HD Gaming" marketing charts, you'll need someone or Google to translate from Taiwanese for you, as you might have already guessed. What's interesting are the pictures below, that show the upcoming cards in all their glory. They also confirm our previous story about the cooling solutions that will be used on both cards. The first card pictured is ATI Radeon HD 4870, the second one is Radeon HD 4850.

Are those dual 6 pin connectors on the 4870?

Looks like it to me.

Megasty · May 26, 2008, 05:22 PM

Fricken bloody monster the 4870 is. It needs 2 gd 6-pin connectors. I don't even want to imagine what the X2 needs. It nice to see that the 4850 is still comfortably the same design.

I think it's dual 6 pin connectors: that's 1 power hungry card ... and it's not even the x2 one ...

EDIT

Megasty was quicker ...

It takes a lot of juice to convert jigawattz to megahurtz

zaqwsx · May 26, 2008, 05:33 PM

Can't wait to grab one. Only problem is I can only put 3 of those in my system becasue I only have 6 6pin connecters

. Lol they look great too

why don't you use molex to 6 pin converters.

$329 for the 4870? ONLY???

Radeon HD 4870 core and memory clock frequencies have not yet confirmed, is most curious about the outside world is carrying Qimonda production GDDR5 memory Qimonda as the first GDDR5 graphics memory of AMD AMD / ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series Adoption of a single standard for 16 Mx32, with 256 bit 512MB capacity, the third party also said that although this card is the first allocation of GDDR5 memory card, although the related impact on manufacturing costs, but it is not difficult to see AMD in developing products Gall of the former, as overclocking and performance remains to be seen, Radeon HD 4870 Dual-Slot used air-cooled radiators, the two groups to be 6 - PIN card power, for electricity, AMD recommend the use of more than 500 W power supply , To provide double-Dual-Link DVI video interface, Radeon display driver 8.49 version drivers support the first time, after the 8.501 version is available Windows XP, VISTA test, AMD Radeon HD 4870 is expected at US $ 329元.

And $229 for 4850? ONLY???

Quoted text was google translated, obviously ...

If this is so, and the rumored nVidia prices are correct, then ATI has already won ...

DrPepper · May 26, 2008, 05:53 PM

I've always preferred the name radeon: it sounds so bloody cool when geforce which makes me want to say gayforce

erocker · May 26, 2008, 05:53 PM

Darn it! 2 x 6 pins means I have to swap my other PSU back in my rig. There's no way I'm buying just one of these.

Actually saying GEE-Force is much funnier!

I'm still shocked by these twin connectors... Perhaps these cards suck more juice than what has been "reported/leaked."

Megasty · May 26, 2008, 06:00 PM

Maybe I'll make a real spider for my next rig. I think I'll have to break out my 1600W UX3 for that

Doesn't look nearly as cool as two 4870's. I'm a very feeble man... Plus, I don't want to wait the extra month. I want to max everything out on AOC now!

(in AOC)

Squirrely · May 26, 2008, 06:08 PM

Wow, the 4850 looks sweet. From what I heard, its supposed to be 125% faster than the 8800gt?

The 4870 is a beast of a card though. I can't imagine the power requirements for a 4870 X2.
