Sapphire HD4870 Toxic Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of those benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest breaks out. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.

Settings:

• SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
• CPU Tests: Cpu1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
• HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze

During the 3DMark06 benchmark, the PowerColor HD4870 PCS+ video card gave the HD4870 Toxic from Sapphire a run for its money, but was able to beat it out at both the stock and overclocked speeds.
