Palit Revolution 700 Deluxe 4870 X2 review - Introduction

Every now and then a manufacturer tries to do something odd, you know, something different with a product. That is much respected, we like diversity, products that bring in an x-factor or something that's fresh and new. Now, sometimes that works out really well, and sometimes it doesn't.

Even after spending two test days with the product we are looking at today .. I still haven't made up my mind with what the conclusion for this product is going to be like. But hey, first let's startup the review okay ?

Meet Palit's Revolution 700 Deluxe. It's an (R700) Radeon HD 4870 X2 with 2048MB memory based graphics card that comes with custom cooling, slightly higher memory clock and some serious connectivity on the form of VGA, DVI, HDMI and even Display port. That's right all the aforementioned connectors are physically present on this graphics card. The end result is the weirdest thing you've ever looked at really, I mean .. this thing is huge, it's literally the size of a brick as it's familiar sized at 27 CM in length and 3 PCI slots (6 CM) wide.

The heart of the product does not hold one, but two R700 GPUs guaranteeing you a very fine 3D gaming performance. All in all .. this is the stuff made for Guru3D and it's readers.

Let's startup the review but not before we have had a peek at Ugly Ducky -- but boy can it fly fast.
