May time

ATI's first 40nm Guinea pig product, the RV740 based Radeon HD 4870 will sell for $99 at launch. This card ends up a bit slower than Radeon HD 4850 and at the same time, it is faster than Radeon 4830, an RV770 based product.
It will fight Geforce 9800GT and it is a clear winner, but we are quite sure that this card can go even further down from $99 magic price range. In 2009, price will certainly matter.

For those looking at that 4850 or 4870 STOP! Wait for this to come out! As it is WELL worth the 99 USD you will spend on it..

Oh BTW if its the 4870 you want to replace use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150360 Nuff said!

Don't upset me Zachstar, my 512mb HIS Turbo IceQ HD 4850 cost me plenty, and this is one hot GPU, trouble is a little too HOT! Even with fan set to 100% still gets to 50 degrees C during game play & normally hovers around 40, some may say that's cool but I'd prefer it to run around 25.

Id sell it right now for 100 USD on Ebay and I mean RIGHT now.

This thing is going to be faster and MUCH cooler.

I'll keep a watch on pricing here in Australia, could be some time before my supplier has it!
