to be honest, I don't think that those 2 heatsinks will handle a 4850x2 very good but it looks like theres enough room to replace them with 2 modded vf900's though

Or something a bit more mod like, 2x Accelero S2 might fit there, if you cut of the fins after the pipes in the middle. Then top that with 2x120mm fans :rockout:

Someone buy me that card, I want to try that mod and return it when done

edit: Accelero S1 is more off center so that to the right and S2 to the left would work, but need to cut pipes too.

Yea I would think it should be $350.00 wich is about the same as the GTX280.(after MIR)
But alot of ppl say it will preform better then the GTX280 in game were CF works, if so that is very nice.

Looks to big and wide and ugly looking.

If they can make it a lot cheaper than a GTX 280, I don't care how ugly looking it is. I don't care if they paint it bright pink. :laugh:

4850x2 8800GTX

Yepp, I'm getting this one alright. Me ol' 88GTX has seen it's glory days

Why wait until now.. Lol

The standard HD4850 slaps the 8800GTX around...

But with the estimated price of this card its going to be pretty silly considering the price of the 4870x2 or gtx280 which are both faster... Let alone their new card lineup is just around the corner again.

MSRP for EU ~400.
Not a good segment when 4870X2 is so close

I just checked the etailers here in Norway, you are correct! WTF :confused:

4850 = 1100 NOK = €117
4850x2 = 3819 NOK = €407
4870 = 1900 NOK = €202
4870x2 = 3475 NOK = €370

It's MORE expensive than the 4870x2 :eek:

Something's got to be wrong....

I'd be prepared to pay some premium for the advantage of a single card solution, say €300 (=400$) as the initial price; and then fall to €250 within 6 months.

Duffman · Oct 27, 2008

sweet, I've been waiting for a 4870x2 in a non reference design. So happy to hear they are gonna have these in non reference design from the start!

Hardly...

2%=
1.2 FPS @ 60 FPS
2 FPS @ 100 FPS

IMO, it requires approx +30% performance boost if it going to be noticable upgrade.
(30 FPS, barely playable. 40 FPS (30% more) is on the other hand playable).

Look at it again with the matured drivers... It's about a 15% increase over a 8800ultra across the boards from what I have tested recently.

But if you want 30% that's pushing it... So I can see your point there.

Whats with that blue thing under the card..

lol that looks like 2 intel hsf glued together on the cooler

Oh man it sure does. Hilarious. Those cheap ass heat sinks. Seems Intel has damn near mastered the art of CPU design but can't engineer a HSF for the life of them.

I know it won't happen, but I'd most likely cry with happiness if they ever ported one to AGP.

I thought you wold have upgraded to PCI-E just after I did. . . . .
You only need to get a motherboard and card at the same time and you'll be set.
939skt motherboards are cheap compared to the chip itself.

jbunch07 · Oct 28, 2008

Sweet! Cant wait to see the reviews!

eidairaman1 · Oct 28, 2008

looks like the better cooler than what Palit Used on their 4870 Sonic Dual.

phobosq · Oct 28, 2008

looks beautiful, I'd love to have one of those

I dont think is the final product !! I hope is not...

And blue PCB Like entry-level cards ? No way !!

Most of Sapphire's Cards have blue PCB.
For Sapphire is blue :roll:

wolf · Oct 28, 2008

i really like the cooler idea, beats the hell out of the 4870x2's

at least they both get air at the same time instead of one getting pre heated air.

don't really like the price point, but if its equal or slightly less than 2x4850 its worth it.

I don't see any need to upgrade to PCIe, not yet anyroad. I'm holding out until I really need to upgrade. On a side note, I managed to beat my previous 3DMark record - 9606 now.

In turn I want to see how far I can get my 3850 without having to move onto another platform.

Exavier · Oct 28, 2008

hmm...combine one of these with my 4870X2...I wish :laugh:
