Introduction

The HD 4800 series has been extremely popular for AMD over the past few months and as the time passes we've seen many companies make changes to the design to help them continue standing out.

The latest company to attack a HD 4800 series card is Palit and the particular model is the top dog from the ATI range, the HD 4870 X2. So, what has Palit done to the card to make it stand out from the rest?

Let's jump forward a page to see what Palit has done with the package before we have a closer look at the card itself. From there we will strap the card into our brand spanking new X58 test bed to see exactly what it's capable of. We're expecting big numbers from this beast.
