Palit Radeon HD 4870 512MB Sonic Dual Edition Video Card Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig | September 24, 2008

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is the follow-up to the highly successful 3DMark06. It uses exclusively DX10 so if you are running Windows XP, you can forget about running this benchmark. However, it presents us with a truly stressful test of any modern graphics card so we have decided to begin including it in our testing procedure.

Overall Score

GPU Score

In Vantage the Sonic isn’t quite able to keep up with the GTX 260 Core 216 and isn’t too far above the stock HD 4870 but at least it looks like the overclock is good for something.
