System Specs

Sapphire HD4870 512mb DDR5

For too long now ATI have been playing second fiddle to their arch rival, NVidia. The ATI cards recently, while being very good cards in their own right have not had quite the impact ATI would have liked and more often that not have fallen short of the high standard NVidia were setting. When Advanced Micro Devices (AMD to you and me) requisitioned ATI, the enthusiast market was buzzing with talk that ATI could make it back to the heyday of reproducing revolutionary graphics cards such as the magnificent 9800 Pro, which stomped on anything NVidia could muster. Sadly we have had to wait some time, with ATI instead targeting the mid-range sector instead of the ultra high end. Times, as always, change and although still not exactly the dominating force they once were, AMD/ATI have made significant advances with the 3000 series of GPU's and more recently the 4000 series. More importantly these series of cards didn't need a Platinum credit card to own nor were they significantly lower performing than their NVidia counterpart despite being more often than not quite alot cheaper.
