ASUS Ready with MATRIX Series HD 4870
ASUS seems to have finally made room for an ATI Radeon HD 4870 based graphics card to fit in its elite MATRIX series. Presenting: EAH4870 MATRIX. The card features ASUS' own-designed PCB with high-grade components to facilitate overclocking. The card comes equipped with a dual-fan cooler. The fans blow air directly onto circular aluminum fin arrays, to cool the various components of the card.
The card sports 512 MB of GDDR5 memory. The core is clocked at 770 MHz, with memory at 920 MHz (3680 MHz effective). One of the main selling points for the MATRIX series cards is the level of control it gives the users. Users are able to set and control clock-speed profiles, monitor the card's various thermal zones and voltages, set voltages manually, monitor and control fan speeds, and also end up with enhanced power-saving modes that reference-design cards don't come with. ASUS is yet to announce pricing and availability.

the sapphire 4870 toxic has the best cooler but is at the same tiem the dearest 4870 so it kinda makes it pointless
it looks like it has a better cooler than the toxic but we will see as i said before
Are we going to see any reviews on this? i wanna know how well that cooler works and how loud those twin fans are.
that being said, i was about to be upset at buying the Sapphire 1gb card 'till i saw this was only a 512mb version.
Still a good looking card.
