Hi Guys!
It has been interesting year so far for the graphics card market. This year has seen rebirth of the gamer’s card with the red team bouncing back strongly and finally offering gamer on budget cards that actually do perform well.
After almost 2 years of complete domination of enthusiast gaming market, for the first time NVIDIA is made to sweat to keep its market share. And as if 4870 and 4850 512MB versions were not enough to cause NVIDIA enough headache, ATI recently launched 1GB DDR5 version of its HD4870 graphics card to battle against the new 216 shader version of GTX260.
Today I am taking look at the Palit’s HD4870 1GB Sonic Dual Edition card. Palit has released Sonic editions of other cards as well in the past with different heatsink fan assembly. And it is indeed great to see manufacturer offer something better and different than the vanilla stock version.
Lets have a look at the card.
