The Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 and Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 are priced within 10% of each other with the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 obviously being more expensive. The Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 is built for high performance thanks to it's Gddr5 memory and this shows with the Extreme Quality setting which shows a clear performance difference between the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 and Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2. If 3dmark Vantage is a good indicator for future gaming performance then the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2 will offer atleast a 20% performance increase over the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 which is impressive. For this reason I recommend the Sapphire Radeon HD 4870 X2!" |
