Sapphire HD 4870 1GB Toxic Soon to be Released
TechConnect have got hold of what appears to be official imagery of a new 1GB variant of the Sapphire HD 4870 Toxic. It shows the card will feature a dual-slot, 3 heatpipe, Vapor-X Cooler, presumably using the same Vapor Chamber Technology (VCT), though one would hope that the heatpipes will not be in the way of the Crossfire fingers when the card hits retail. It can be seen on the product packaging that the card is factory overclocked and if the 512MB 4870 Toxic is anything to go by, the GPU will be clocked around 780Mhz with the memory around 4Ghz. There is yet no word on availabilty or pricing, but TechConnect expects it to arrive in the next few weeks.

Tell me about it :rolleyes:
it is one of the best 4870s but isnt exactly cheap
the HIS ICEQ is a nice cooler too
this and the ICE Q are the 2 best 4870s
they need to stop making 4870s because everyone is fed up with them and getting gtx 260s
in crossfire the 4870 is good but the single gtx just owns a single 4970 it for a little more cash
This card has been out for awhile now, honestly, it's probably not worth you changing out the card.
Not without an overclock, more ram, use of dx10 and/or a larger resolution.
