[proteu]

hi everyone !

my question is one graphic card ati hd 4870x2 with 2 gb memory = one ati hd 5870 with 1 gb memory ?
result of an rma, the factory decide to change the first one with the second...should i accept this trade ?

thanks

They perform pretty much equal, the 4870x2 only had 1GB effective ram anyway so no loss there. If you don't have to pay for it, it sounds an alright trade.

I would be very happy with that trade, you get pretty much the same performance plus the addition of DX11 support and and slew of other features. Good trade.

yeah, u will be happy with 5870, less heat. less power consumption, dx11.
