Updated: HD 4870 X2 enters the fray
Following our story about XFX's idea to go for ATI, we
managed to find quite a few cards available and in stock across the Europe. XFX's lineup includes most Radeon models, starting from the Radeon HD 4350, 512MB DDR2, VGA, DVI,
TV-out, PCIe 2.0 for €35+ all the way to its current flagship XFX Radeon HD
4870 XXX, 1024MB GDDR5, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe 2.0 that is selling in Germany for
242€.
The cards are always made with a black PCB and the XXX XFX Radeon
HD 4870 1GB is also overclocked to 775MHz which makes a slight difference
compared to a reference clock. The company still has to introduce XFX Radeon
HD 4870 X2 and we’ve learned that such a card will come shortly.
All of the cards are listed here and if you look at the Scan
and a few other stores in the UK you will find them there as well.
Update:
We found XFX's HD 4870 X2 card listed with several EU e-taliers, but it's still not available. You can find the listings here.
