First Look: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB
The Radeon HD 4850 X2 has been strangely absent from AMD's line up ever since it was announced at the same time as the 4870 X2. Sapphire has come to market with a custom Radeon HD 4850 X2 and we take it for a quick test drive.

    Wow, that is a huge graphics card. Is this larger than the HD 4870 X2 or smaller? I do like the double fan heatsink though, nice touch.

Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB
DarkVision Hardware Articles and Review from around the web — ... 180 series drivers, but it’s still a great feature to have on a single card. Nvidia’s last dual-GPU card, the GeForce 9800 GX2, has only three digital outputs – Sapphire’s Radeon HD 4850 X2 offers four digital connections. There are, of course, very few people who have a need for more than even two monitors, but Sapphire is catering for that niche particularly well here – two Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2s in CrossFire enables support for eight displays if you’re crazy enough.

The Mother Board — ... much slower than the Radeon HD 4870 X2 in many scenarios – only when the resolution increases to 2,560 x 1,600 will you see a more distinct performance difference. This is good – especially when you consider that the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is retailing at close to £370 (inc. VAT) and it makes the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 an attractive option. We’d probably hold off until there is at least official driver support from AMD, but what we’ve seen so far has impressed us. link
