SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4870 Review
Specifications
The Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 review
shows this to be up there in the leagues of the best PCI video cards available on the market. This is all taking into the
account the many variables that you would use this sapphire video card for though. With a slightly lower price tag and
packing the power and performance it does it is a sure fire contender in my book.

Overview
The Sapphire RADEON HD 4870
review shows to be a strong computer video card on the PCI video card market. It has power and speed and performance on
its side. The main reason this computer video card is doing so well is because of the amount of performance it gives for
the money. It is competing with the Nvidia GTX 260 series and is whooping butt.
I do believe that overclocking is a great way to enhance the amount of power you get out of your product. You will have to
know what you are doing and be very careful about making implemental boost, but it is achievable. I believe this pci video
card is better left alone in stock mode than overclocked. It is still a good a great overclocker, but not great.
Like most sapphire video cards from this series it has a great power saving feature that can help extend the life of your
sapphire graphics card and your computer system. Mainly I am talking about heat production from power production. Of course, as
soon as you start overclocking you are doing yourself an injustice. You can find more information at
video card reviews.
Price
You can purchase the Sapphire RADEON HD 4870
for around $299 from an online retailer. You will probably not find this at a retail store, but if you do I hope
that you see better deals than me. As you know they have to overblow their prices so they can pay for their employees.
