Sometimes a video card needs to be just that. A card for video. Many high-end workstation motherboards don’t have integrated video, but what good is a computer without a display? The Intel i7 is just the perfect example. A lot of people have the need for quad cores of number-crunching power, but they’re not gamers and, appropriately, have no desire to own a beautiful set of GTX 50 millions. (But you’ll get there, we’ll see to that.)
I was a little noncommittal in recommending the 4670 and I suspect that I’m pretty much in the same boat with regards to the 4650. On the one hand, these are inexpensive cards with impressive performance for the price, but on the other hand, for very little extra, much more capable cards can be had. But let’s say, for example, you had sixty bucks and only wanted to play WoW or the Orange Box. Will this card do it?
The Radeon HD 4670 is the mid-range offering from ATI, with lower performance than the Radeon HD 4770 & 4800 series but more performance than the Radeon HD 4300 and 4500 series. With so many new cards out there, the Radeon HD 4670 fits in nicely to the sub $75 market. Let's see how well it performs against its main competitor from the NVIDIA camp, the GeForce 9600GSO 384MB.
The Sapphire Radeon HD 4770 introduces the 40nm RV740 GPU paired to 512MB of DDR5 video frame buffer memory, and a double-height cooler allows the 100277L model video card to operate at 750MHz. As of May 2009, the Sapphire HD4770 sells for as low as $99, which allows gamers to create a very affordable CrossFireX array using this mainstream graphics accelerator. Benchmark Reviews compares two Sapphire Radeon HD4770's assembled into a CrossFireX set against a large collection of high-performance GPU's for the tests in this article.

Im Mittelklassesegment der ATI-Karten ist eine kleine Lücke zwischen der HD 4670 und HD 4850 entstanden. Diese hat ATI nun mit der Radeon HD 4830 geschlossen. Die nochmals abgespeckte Version des RV770 ist in Form einer Sapphire Radeon HD 4830 bei uns eingetroffen und wird nun in unserem Benchparkour auf die Probe gestellt. Ob die Karte für den Preis genügend Leistung hat und wie sich der eigens entwickelte Kühler von Sapphire schlägt, erfahrt ihr wie immer in unserem Artikel.
Often overlooked in the eternal arms race for the biggest, baddest, most powerful video card on the market; ATI has also been putting out scaled-down versions of their 4000-series GPUs that are intended for the budget conscious gamer. Today we'll be looking at the HD 4830, a smaller sibling to ATI's powerful HD4870. Find out whether this little brother is a mighty mite, or just falls short.
Nach der MSI Radeon HD 4850 Dual Slot schauen wir uns nun einen weiteren Vertreter der so preislich attraktiven Mittelklasse an, der die HD 4850 spätestens seit der letzten Preissenkung beiwohnt. Alternative Kühlkonzepte haben sich bei Mittelklassekarten bisher weitaus deutlicher durchgesetzt als bei den High-End Pendants, kommt die HD 4830 gar ohne ein Referenzdesign aus. Mit der Vapor-X Serie möchte dies Sapphire auf großer Basis ändern und bietet diese neue "VaporChamber" genannte Technologie auch auf der HD 4870 an. In diesem Artikel schauen wir uns die Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 Vapor-X mit 512 MB GDDR3 Speicher an und überprüfen, ob der Kühler wirklich hält, was Sapphire verspricht oder sich dahinter nur heiße Luft verbirgt.
Today Sapphire becomes the first GPU manufacturer to attach 2 GB of DDR5 to a Radeon 4870 making it one of the most impressive models available in terms of paper specifications. They haven’t stopped there however as the card also features their own PCB design and a cooler based on the Vapor-X technology which we have seen on a few of their previous cards.

In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests Sapphire's fastest Radeon HD 4870 X2 video card against the best graphics products available.
Alright. Time for a refresh, it's almost spring, and that's the season for growing video cards. The HD 4890 is, for all intensive porpoises, a retooled HD 4870, which, in my humble opinion, is overdue. Not that the 4870 was by any means a bad card, and it certainly got its deserved amount of press, but it had its failings and, when prices were even, I'd generally recommend a GTX 260. AMD doesn't like losing on the price front, that's for damn sure. But it never hurts to have a great high-end card, either. Look, this card still isn't a match for the ridongulous GTX 285 or the limited 295, but it's an outstanding improvement over the HD 4870. Enough to upgrade?
