samm Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Holy sh**, fast as hell and accordingly incredibly powerhungry. Though a bit less than 2 HD4870 in crossfire, it seems, and an ominous BIOS upgrade should offer the long hoped for power saving features, esp. in idle mode... In any case, probably nothing for me. And this review thinks differentlyIt's not the same card [edit] the Techreport preview shows a little strange power readings. The system with one 280 uses 300w, with two 565w. That means one 280 uses 265 w, leaving the rest of the system with 35w. Wtf?

Gorgon Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Look at the sound chart, the numbers for 4800 and 4870 are about the same Edited July 15, 2008 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Magister Lajciak Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Seems like a very interesting card - I wonder when it will become available for notebooks in a mobile version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 It will never come I think, or not with the same computing power anyway, because it draws more power than a whole notebook normally does (including processor, screen, hdd, dvd, graphics etc) Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only means they're based on the same core (in this case the RV770), usually in a severely underclocked form. But samm is right about one thing; these 48XX chips are extremely power-hungry. I wouldn't be surprised if this idea was canned eventually. We'll see. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
