Sapphire HD 4870 Vapor-X 1GB Review - PAGE 9

Kevin Spiess - Thursday, March 26th, 2009 Like +my favourites

If there was a game were extra DDR5 would come in handy, you would imagine it would be Far Cry 2: here the extra 512MB does propel the Vapor-X over the stock HD 4870, but only by a fractional amount.

The XFX GTX 260 continues to put in better numbers, while the Vapor-X sits halfway between our HD 4830 and the HD 4870 X2.

next: Unreal Tournament 3 »
