Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB GDDR3 Card Pictured

ATI Radeon HD 4850 X2 graphics card, which was formally announced way back in August and is still unavailable, was spotted today over at pchacc.cn leading us to believe that it will finally hit the market for real. The card below is build by ATI's major partner Sapphire and features custom dual-slot cooling system, 2GB of GDDR3 memory, a 256-bit memory interface, CrossFireX support and blue PCB. Last but not least are the two 55nm RV770 GPUs and the GPU bridge that links them. The card will require an extra 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe connectors. Currently, there's no exact release date, but the little brother of 4870 X2 is expected to become available later next month.

mdm-adphDamn, man -- not bad. Your 3850 on an AGP bus beats my 4670 on PCI-E. :laugh: (I score about 7800 in 3dmark06 with my CPU at 2.7GHz.)
Yeah, I'm really pleased with my score. I've still got my friends Opteron 170 which only clocks to as high 2.6GHz that I might give another shot in the mouth. See if the extra 512KB L2 cache helps with newer Catalysts.

Back on topic, I was planning getting my girlfriend a 4850, but my friend that I'm buying it from is taking far too long so I may just get her this card and never have to upgrade her machine.

:D
