Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition review - 1 - Introduction

Dang, you guys ... the Radeon HD 4870 is one fine graphics cards all by itself, isn't it? But can it be altered a little to make it even better? Well, the guys and gals at Palit surely believe so and therefore they released their Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition.

See, you take the most refined single-GPU based graphics chipset from ATI, and then start redesigning stuff. What's different then, you'll likely ask about this Palit graphics card? Well, the 1st thing you'll notice is a turbo switch, which allows you to select a second BIOS in an overclocked product state. Then we actually spot a display-port connector and next to that .. the USS enterprise was actually mounted on-top of the GPU, as this product my friends, has one big cooler mounted on top of it.

See, this is Palit's own design graphics solution. So if we sum up these things .. what do we have? Exactly .. Guru3D.com review material as we life and breathe for this gear, man.
