I think you ought to edit your thread title, so people don't come in here getting all excited and thinking they can get one right now .

So besides the GDDR5 and the faster core, it is the same as a 4850?

The 4870 has a dual-slot design with heat exhausted outside the case, the reference 4850 keeps the heat in the case so you can bake little pies and cakes.

So basically the give you a double slot cooler and take away the easy bake oven feature away......

I wanted to bake a few cupcakes too. ;(

Yea, everything is the same as the 4850. Except the core of the 4870 is 750 and the memory is clocked at 3600 :Q

Here is the listing for a HD 4850 w/specs, but a pic of a 4870

Was anyone able to buy one before they took it down ? Why do I have a funny feeling the price won't be $309 when it is put back up on newegg?

yeah, I keep waiting for a pic of ashton kutcher to pop up on the 4870 main page at newegg..."sorry, you've been punk'd until july 8"...

if they don't charge at least $350 for starters on this card I'd be very surprised. With gddr5 availability so limited and an absolute annihilation of its competition we all know what gouge egg will do...

 

[Hauk]

Don't tempt them Bryan, they're probably watching..

 

[postmortemIA]

Either way, good news! It is just matter of time when these cards will be available, and we have new $299 champion. I'm happy for AMD, there's great interest for their 48x0 series!

 

[Denithor]

Wonder how much money AMD is making on these cards? Enough to pull them through these tough times?

Dunno but a store near my house has sold 32 4850's and ran out of stock.

I just love how ATI has put a shock to Nvidia this time around. I am not bias to either side, but I enjoy the competition and little tricks that are being pulled out of the bag due to the level of success so far in the HD4000 series
