When looking at performance versus price, the XFX Radeon 4870X2 wins in every single one of our benchmanrk. This underlines its position as the best value video card for owners of large full-HD monitors.

The card is able to provide great framerates at high settings/resolution in the latest games and has a reasonable level of overclocking potential. The card looks better than the reference model which is always a bonus and XFX have chosen their bundled components well, nothing is omitted.
All of this is backed by the exceptional XFX warranty and support process which includes real time chat sessions with XFX technicians. As a result it is hard to find a better X2 on the market and due to a recent drop in price it is also very good value.

Probably the best news to come out of our testing here are the improvements that came from the move to AMD's latest Catalyst 9.1 driver over their previous Catalyst 8.12 driver set - In virtually all the CPU-limited situations we came upon, using this new driver gave us some pretty impressive increases in performance, which is always good to see.  While most of these scenarios and titles were already playable with the Radeon HD 4870 X2 using older drivers, you can never say no to more performance when it comes from a simple download and install.
The good news that comes from this particular board is that it threatens to be very price competitive - XFX's take on the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is in there amongst the cheapest that we've seen on the market here in the UK, and if you shop around there are some excellent deals to be have (with Overclockers UK in particular selling this card for a knock-down price at the time of writing).  Add to that XFX's apparent support commitments, and you have yourself a pretty well-rounded product for the enthusiast sector, based around an SKU that fears no-one when it comes to gaming performance.
