Thread: Sapphire HD 4870 Vapor-X 2 Gb GDDR5 Graphic card

Capacity of system memory well above the average for the category of graphic adapters with regard to the new model presented by the manufacturer Sapphire, with the initials of the Vapor-X 2 Gb GDDR5 HD 4870 (PCI-EX 2.0). The device integrates a SDRAM that effectively amounts to 2 GB, whereas the average for products normally sold for personal use is 512 MB, which is four times less. The type of memory on board meets the canons of the most advanced technology available today: it is a so-called GDDR5. Sapphire HD 4870 Vapor-X 2 Gb GDDR5 (PCI-EX 2.0) uses an ATI graphics processor manufacturer, in particular the model RV770XT.

The doubling of the resources available, not least in terms of connections, is one of the prerogatives of the new Vapor-X graphics adapter Sapphire HD 4870 2GB DDR5 (PCI-EX 2.0). Thus, a dual power supply connector (but the connector Digital Video Interface (DVI-I) is not equipped with Dual Link support and dual access), while also having a RAMDAC switching digital signal that operates at a speed of 2 x 400 Mhz. Among other outputs that the graphics card provides the user not to forget the HDTV and the HDMI port that make it possible to communicate with TV screens in HD. And yet, access to the analog VGA, DP output part of the class of connections. Finally, it should be noted that the PCI Express 2.0 interface at a speed of 16x allows the graphics card Sapphire Vapor-X 2 Gb GDDR5 HD 4870 (PCI-EX 2.0) connection to the motherboard.



In analyzing the additional resources of the graphics adapter Sapphire Vapor-X 2 Gb GDDR5 HD 4870 (PCI-EX 2.0) can not pass unnoticed by the Vapor-X system, which also gives the first part of the name to the model. This is an innovative cooling method, a new concept, being much faster and more efficient than the previous ones, but also very quiet. Another important consideration is the presence of ATI Avivo technology, which enables the card compatibility with standard-quality video (MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, H.264, VC1) and with media such as HD-DVD or Blu Ray
