CEBIT 2009 news - Sapphire to launch a 2GB HD 4870 shortly

Sapphire representatives have confirmed that the company's Vapor-X Radeon HD 4870, 2048MB GDDR5 card should be available shortly.

The card is already listed here, and it will be selling for €250, and despite the fact that 2GB memory won’t really speed things up, it might have a good selling chance. The general public believes that more memory is always better and it is hard to argue with this myth.

The card has VGA, DVI, HDMI, uses the PCIe 2.0 interface and boasts a fancy new Vapor-X cooler look. This will be a nice refreshment to the RV770 chip that should last just a few more months, better said weeks, as the new and a bit faster 55nm faster card is just around the corner.
