Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB Video Card Review

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


It seems like the 2GB frame buffer is really able to allow the HD4870 X2 to shine in Vantage where it takes a pretty significant lead over the Crossfire solutions. We would normally make more mention about the Nvidia cards as well but they are so far behind, they aren’t much competition at all.
