Redefine HD Gaming

• The fastest HD4870 x 2 in the world
  At 800MHz engine clock and 1000MHz(4.0Gbps) memory clock, Atomic HD4870 x 2 is the world’s fastest HD4870 x 2 card.
  
  
• Single slot closed loop liquid cooler
  Liquid coolant in the SAPPHIRE HD 4870 X2 ATOMIC is circulated through the graphics card cooler and a chassis mounted radiator by a pump assembly which fixes onto the standard system CPU mountings (both AMD and Intel mounts supplied). The graphics cooler, CPU cooler and radiator are connected in a closed loop by high quality flexible yet tough Teflon tubing and attached to each module with interference fit barbed joints that are sealed for life. This arrangement is easy to install, and efficiently cools the system CPU even in enthusiast systems where it is common to raise CPU speeds. The pump and sealed joints have been independently tested to 50,000 hours MTBF.
  
  
• 2.4 teraFLOPSof compute power
  This is the most powerful graphics card available today with nearly two billion transistors and 1600 stream processors.
  
  
• 2GB GDDR5 Memory
  With 2GB of GDDR5, the fastest and most advanced memory technology available today, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 delivers almost two times the memory bandwidth of the previous generation.
