| Re: Tech-Report: Preview of the Radeon HD 4870 X2... I'm still unclear how much total memory the card has. Tech-Report indicates that it's 2GB total, 1GB per GPU, yet Anand indicates it's a total of 1GB which would be 512 per GPU. Edit, from HardOCP: "our samples have 1GB of GDDR5 accessible to each GPU (so 2GB total on the board.)"

| Re: Tech-Report: Preview of the Radeon HD 4870 X2... Overall its almost as fast as a 280... if they can get the price right then the world will be their oyster... of course if it suffers from micro-stutter as I expect it will then its just an academic exercise as far as I'm concerned...
