Introduction

While we haven't heard much about the model over the past few months, the HD 4870 X2 continues to be a very real model from ATI and still remains to be the company's fastest graphics card.

A while ago we heard ASUS was going to mix it up with the HD 4870 X2 and today we've got the card in our hand and we're going to take the time to see exactly what ASUS has done with this HD 4870 X2 to make it stand out from the pack.

If you're looking for an ATI card and you still want the fastest available from the company, the HD 4870 X2 is the card to be looking at. With a fair bit of time gone since the release of the model we don't want to see a standard cooled model here from ASUS.

What we'll do before we have a look at the card itself is see what ASUS has got going on in the bundle. Once that's done and the card has been looked at we will then focus our attention on the specifications and get into the performance side of things. Our main focus today will be to see how the card compares to other HD 4800s available on the market. So with that said, let's get stuck into it and find out exactly what we have going on.
