First Review: HD 4870 and HD 4850
HD 4870 VS GTX 260
Launch price compare:
HD 4870 299USD
GTX 260 399USD
Amount all test items, GTX 260 and HD 4870 is draw in 4 of them.GTX 260 leads only 11 items, and other 21 items are HD 4870 in the lead.
In no AA/AF condition, HD 4870 leads 1.56% averangly. If we enable AA/AF in game, the lead can be raise to 2.28%.
If you think Lost Planet is a N biased game, then after we take is number off, the HD 4870 lead will become 5.5%(NoAA/AF) and 5.8%(With AA/AF).
So, with only 75% of GTX 260′s price, HD 4870 can do slightly better.

if this review is true. The price per performance wins here. Not to mention that ati/amd will make the 4800 series compatible with 3870′s. So unlike all you nvidia shlong lickers, we can keep our cards and beat the crap out of nvidia for ALOT cheaper!!! All I can see, is a future igp like the 780g, coupled with a 3870 x2 and a 4870 all working as one. NVIDIA can’t beat it. AMD/ATI is on its way to an evolution while Nvidia is now trying to beat out the CPU. Please. I just hope AMD/ATI can keep its pockets full.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Hassan, ati has won most GPU battles since 2002. R300>nv30, r400>nv40, g70=r520, r580>g71, g80>r600, g92>rv670, r700>G200.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:17 am
r700 is not > G200. You are comparing a 2GPU card that has not been released (and won’t be for months!) to a single GPU.
An accurate comparison will be to compare R700 to the coming GTX280gx2. Nvidia still has the performance crown.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:44 am
10% Performance crown at twice the price. (sarcasm)
June 25th, 2008 at 1:03 am
What the HELL?
97C idle 100+C load?
I am a die hard ATI fan, but there is NO WAY i am putting this heater (4870) inside my precious Pcs.
The 4850 with a zalman cooler, seems more and more to be a better choice.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Great!!! 4870 is new best-buy card of 2008!
June 25th, 2008 at 1:50 am
@PSOLORD:
The high idle temperature is becouse powerplay (power saving feature) is not working with the current driver. will probably be fixed soon.
The high load temp is just becouse the fan is not spinning very fast (becouse the chip is designed to handle the heat and this way it can be cooled more quietely) not becouse it is using much power.
June 25th, 2008 at 1:54 am
That’s not the case anymore. People at ATI confirmed today that cards in a different series cannot be crossfired.
Sorry, I wish it was true too.
But, I agree that ATI is back baby. Screw the GTX 280 for more than twice the price. If nVidia doesn’t come down on their prices, ATI will make up a lot of what they lost! My business included!
June 25th, 2008 at 2:57 am
@ martijnve
I really really hope you are right my friend. I so much want a 4870 but i am not going to get one with these thermals and that power consumption. What bothers me greatly even if this is a driver problem, is that if the card reaches 100C+ as reported by expreview at load, the new driver isn’t going to help the load temps but only the idle temps. 100C is too much even for load.
@expreview
I would also like to ask Jeff and the rest of the expreview to doublecheck if the reported temps are Celsius or Fahrenheit. Please measure again the temperature with an external laser thermometer on the back metal.

June 25th, 2008 at 9:32 am
umm ok ^.^ after market cooler would work too probly
June 25th, 2008 at 9:42 am
you can allways ramp up the speed of the stock cooler, if it goes to 50%, get it to 80 atleast, then you will se drop in temps, also new thermal paste can do wunders to temperatur, put some Artic Cooling MX-2 on it and it will go down atleast 10c, DO NOT put Artic Silver on it, it will kill it, why? Artic Silver got silver in it and GPU does not like that, gpus does not have heatspreders like CPUs do etc
June 25th, 2008 at 9:44 am
nice review, am wating for atleast 3 more to confirm before i buy anything from any CPU/GPU company
June 25th, 2008 at 9:46 am
can Expreview confirm that the 4870 and 4850 uses same mount holes as 3870 and 3850?
if it does then any aftermarket cooler will work that supports X1800/X1900 series

June 25th, 2008 at 10:00 am
just out of curiosity where did you get drivers for a 4870 card that will allow it to be tested in its full potential and how come a blog user gets to review the newest and most expected UNRELEASED graphic card before the big reviewer sites?
June 25th, 2008 at 10:06 am
TosheX, no clue, meybe they bought them from a store some where
the 4870 has been selling in hong kong for the past few days
have a nice 4800 series day TosheX
June 25th, 2008 at 10:36 am
@TosheX,
you should read more bit of it…
the first page mentions that all those cards are bought in Hongkong.
June 25th, 2008 at 10:47 am
Wow, the 4870 handles AA and AF pretty well. This is pretty good and thanks Expreview.
June 25th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Could the experts of expreview (or someone else) please recommend the ultimate cooler for the 4870 ? I don’t care if it’s massive and slightly expensive.. something that is relatively quiet and does an amazing job at getting the card waaay cool!
June 25th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Does “all-setting high” mean “very high” or just “high” settings? Bit confusing.
June 25th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
hasan, you’re wrong ….. ATi lose just against g80/g92 for 1,5 years, before that it was a leading company
June 25th, 2008 at 12:57 pm
@PSOLORD
it is Celsius.
@sebastien
accelero s1 is good, but i believe it is not”ultimate”
@Mur8t
just high, the very high numbers will be used at CF tests.
June 25th, 2008 at 3:21 pm
David, from where did you get that “People at ATI confirmed today that cards in a different series cannot be crossfired”. Tgdaily stated that 3800 and 4800 series can be crossfired.
Reference: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/38056/135/
Prove me otherwise..

1st, you always have alternative design coolers. Surely HIS will do smth like their great IceQ coolers. Also, Zalman coolers may come too. As to 4850s, 2-slot coolers would be fine for them.
2nd, you can bue your own cooler (Accelero?). It won’t be too much compared to GTX 260, I think.

“An accurate comparison will be to compare R700 to the coming GTX280gx2. Nvidia still has the performance crown.”
… what crack is this guy smoking, anyway? GX2? nVidia is discontinuing their GX2 line completely. They’re not doing dual-GPU. They laugh at dual-GPU. If they say otherwise, then I’ll believe it. But right now, 280GX2… *laughs his ass off* … highly unlikely, and currently a retarded idea. 9800GX2 ‘SLI Sandwich Special’ was bad enough. Though admittedly it does perform well, it’s just so inelegant it disgusts me.
Also, for the crossfiring 4800s and 3800s… An ATi official actually said it could be done on the Game.AMD forums, but it would need Vista and it wouldn’t be any better than two of the 3800s in crossfire.

@martijnve
Oh yes they will. Since fan-management seems to suck so much, I assume some driver changes(to increase it’s speed/efficiency) can do ALOT.
Also… alot of 4850 owners have replaced/reaplied the thermal paste on the chip/memory/heatsink… and it seemded to lower the temps by quite alot…
Heh… seems like the AIBs have been too busy building as much 4800s as they can… to pass all of them trough quality check… that such a shame…
Well… I’ll be getting a HIS/Sapphire custom cooled LATER batch of cards anyway… a 4870 that is… or maybe the X2…

Do you even have a clue what you are babbling about? The current ATI line up looks to me to be beating the COMPETING cards in their particular range. E.G. 4870>GTX260
4850>9800GTX. Do you follow this now? Or are you going to continue to be blindly ignorant always sucking nVidia’s dirty balls?
July 4th, 2008 at 3:36 am
Hi All,
can I just say that TDP is NOT the same as power consumption! TDP (Thermal Design Power) is a value that states how much waste heat energy needs to be transported away from the GPU (or CPU). The Power consumption is the sum of (energy used for calculation + energy wasted as heat), or the energy used for calculation divided by the efficiency. Thus, the TDP will be LOWER than the power consumption, even more so in an EFFICIENT or a USELESS (ie NOT doing a lot of calculations) GPU/CPU.
Just wanted to get that clarified.
Otherwise, good review, still scared of these temps, but will make a nice BBQ!
July 8th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
[...] 4870. As of July 4th, GTX 260 has dropped to the same price as HD 4870. In fact, we found GTX 260 almost the same as HD 4870 in performance, but GTX 260 has advantages in NVIDIA’s drivers and industry [...]
July 10th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Ok, what I wanna know, is if E6550, OCed to 3.0Ghz will bottleneck HD4870, and, if is there going to be any differences between the PCI-E 1.1 and 2.0 motherboards? If there’ll be, how big will it be?
July 10th, 2008 at 9:57 am
PCIe 1.1 x16 = 4GB/s
PCIe 2.0 x16 = 8GB/s
bottleneck issue will depend on games/applications…personally i think it is ok for current games
July 10th, 2008 at 11:28 am
Correct on that one Jeff, PCIe 1.1 and 2.0 was found to have no differences. Tom’s Hardware did a comprehensive test in this regards a while back.
August 5th, 2008 at 10:00 am
You complain about the AMD card reaching 100c like no Nvidia has ever done that before.
8800GTS 640 > ~130c benched in my very own rig.. (using furmark)
Fourth card to go back for RMA at the eleventh month, Nvidia just can’t make cards that won’t burn up.. 66gt, 78gt, 79gt, 88gts.. They all stopped working after about a year.
Some with after market coolers that dropped temps in half, still die like flies.

There’s no doubt that the Michigan labor movement badly blundered by spending millions in its failed effort to get a constitutional amendment protecting collective bargaining on the ballot this year. The amendment went down to a stunning defeat. Worse, as could have been predicted, the labor movement’s enemies in the legislature are now calling for the enactment of a so-called right to work law, which would outlaw the union shop. Currently, if a union represents workers at a factory, plant or other enterprise, the workers either have to join the union, or at least pay union dues, as a condition of employment. That would be illegal if Michigan enacted a right to work law, as 23 other states have done. Unions could still exist, but membership would be strictly voluntary, and they would be greatly weakened as a force for collective bargaining for the workers. In fact, union leaders believe with some justice that this would mean the end of the labor movement, and they will fight to the death to prevent that from happening. (Even without right to work, unions have been losing ground nationally and in Michigan for decades.) Governor Rick Snyder doesn’t want the legislature to pass right-to-work laws. He fears that would be unnecessarily divisive, might have a nasty backlash, and says right-to-work laws are not needed in order for him to accomplish what needs to be done. Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville agrees with him. But they are considerably less radical than many of their fellow Republicans in the legislature. And some of those, like Senator Jack Brandenburg of Macomb County, are pushing for lawmakers to pass right to work, right away, during a lame duck session. While Republicans will still control both houses of the legislature next year, they did lose five seats in the house, and doing anything radical might be a little bit harder. There is little doubt that the legislature can pass such a bill if that’s what they want to do, though even one of right to work’s biggest boosters, Senator Patrick Colbeck of Canton, says it would be probably be too complicated to pull off in a lame duck session. What nobody really knows is if the governor would sign a right to work bill if one lands on his desk — though most people think the answer would be a reluctant yes. I don’t know for sure, but I do know this: Passing a right to work law could end up being a long-term disaster for the Republicans. It could give Democrats the needed rallying cry to punish them in the coming midterm elections. The fact that voters didn’t want to stick collective bargaining in the constitution doesn’t mean that they are solidly anti-union. The collective bargaining amendment vote was closer than the other constitutional amendments. There’s some indication that many confused voters just blindly voted against them all. The chances are that many of the same voters who are against unions having special constitutional rights would also be opposed to having the rights they now have taken away from them. The governor has a lot he wants and needs to get done quickly, from finding a replacement for the emergency manager law to his favorite cause, personal, meaning business, property tax reform. The last thing he needs is for a legislative jihad against Michigan’s unions to get in the way. Jack Lessenberry is Michigan Radio’s political analyst.
