Sapphire brings the power of graphics ‘supercomputing’ to enthusiasts with their 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2 card. With 1600 (800 x 2) Stream Processing Units, the card delivers unapproachable graphics performance for complicated 3D rendering or gaming.
The Sapphire 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2 card has 2GB of high-throughput GDDR5 memory, clocked at 750MHz and the GPU core is clocked at 900MHz. Supporting AMD CrossFireX technology, the high-speed connectors on each card allow two cards to be used together for enhanced performance when installed in a CrossFireX compatible motherboard.
The Radeon HD 4870 X2 incorporates the latest ATI Avivo HD Technology for enhanced video display, and a second generation built-in UVD 2 (Unified Video decoder 2) for the hardware accelerated decoding of Blu-ray and HD DVD content for VC-1, H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs, reducing CPU load. Via the included DVI-to-HDMI adapter, this card supports multi-channel audio formats (up to 7.1) and combines audio and video output on a single cable for direct connection to an HDMI-ready display. Support for DirectX10.1 ensures optimal compatibility with all DirectX10.1 applications, and enables stunning 3D graphics and shading effects in the latest games.
