    Hi i'm making a gaming pc and was looking at getting a Sapphire radian 4870 516mb


    Now i've seen this on pixmania....
    I'm supposing it's a good deal just from the price but am really struggling to find anything much about it reviews and such. (At least no recent ones anyway)

    Any ideas guys?

    That card is pretty ancient. It's a couple of generations old, I'm surprised they still have it in stock. A similarly priced current generation card like the 4830 would kill it.

    The reason you can't find any recent reviews should speak for itself. The card is years old and is roughly about the same speed as the Ati HD4550, which costs about 50 euro. In fact it's probably considerably slower once you boot up a few of the latest games at 1280x1024 or 1440x900. So relative to the latest standards, it's worth about 30 euro.

    As above a card of any current generation at the same price point would kill it performance wise. And kill it stone dead, not just 'beat' it.
