AMD launches Radeon HD 48xx Series Today

W1zzard · Jun 19, 2008

I just received an E-Mail from AMD stating that some RV770 info can be posted today:

Effective 9:00 AM EDT on Thursday, June 19th, AMD will be lifting the embargo preventing the publishing of ATI Radeon HD 4850 performance previews. These performance previews may include ATI Radeon HD 4850 benchmarks, photos of the ATI Radeon HD 4850 hardware, information printed on related packaging or photos of the packaging itself and related pricing information.

WOW, that's cool. I've been curious to the specs etc. on this card.

Gam'ster · Jun 19, 2008

Nice, crunch time is upon us.

Thanks for the news, W1z. Hopefully this will put an end to some of the speculation that has so plagued this launch. :toast:

Voyager · Jun 19, 2008

10:00 PM EEST for me, about 8 hours to wait :wtf:

burtram · Jun 19, 2008

can't wait. i am looking forward to seeing some good reviews!

crow1001 · Jun 19, 2008

Crossfire review below, looks OK but still cant compete with the GTX280 when in xfire, AA/AF has improved dramatically with the new ATI cards :toast:

looks to be an excellent card, more so if you xfire two of them, if the price is right, they should sell plenty.

laszlo · Jun 19, 2008

wow!

if the 4850 CF almost beat gtx280 i think 4870 CF will destroy it and a single card will be a match to 260

nice from AMD-ATI so they'll survive and we'll have competition at least in gpu market...

this is a good move from AMD they killing Nvidia launch

drivers can also mature by time, the 4850 sells for around 1440 nok here in norway
komplett.com got it in some of their etail store's, in norway, sweden and danmark
http://www.komplett.com/

i think AMD did the right thing, and the 4850 looks great, as you can see the price is around the level of 3850 when it was first released

ATI is :nutkick:

NVIDIA

omg updated to have only one hour left

DaMulta · Jun 19, 2008

I can't wait to read your review. This is going to be very interesting.

candle_86 · Jun 19, 2008

btarunr · Jun 19, 2008

Are you doing a preview? Right now TUL seems to be the only partner selling these cards.

Widjaja · Jun 19, 2008

Great now I'll selll my 8800GT and jump back on the ATi band wagon.
Actually on my X1950pro right now, since another one has died on me and getting a RMA.
Thats three in total.
Loved the performance but the longevity is a bit short for my liking.

DanishDevil · Jun 19, 2008

I want my 4870 :cry:

Some legit spec's and reviews would be nice, though

Waiting with baited breath!

WarEagleAU · Jun 19, 2008

::drool:: This is historic. Well not really, Im just itching to see what the 4850 can do. Cant wait for the 4870s.

TooFast · Jun 19, 2008

nice! for 400$ its almost as fast as the gtx280... I'm sure 3 of them will dust it, for the same price!

selway89 · Jun 19, 2008
