Today we'll be testing Palit's pimped out HD 4870 X2 against the standard HD 4870 X2. Firing up our Core i7 test bed, let's get stuck into a new benchmark line-up which includes some of today's hottest games.

3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware.
3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.
Straight off the line we can see the small increase in memory clock does very little for extra performance.
