If you are like most hardware enthusiasts, keeping pace with the latest technology can be a real chore, not to mention a serious money pit. The fact is that most of us (myself included) simply can't afford to shell out hundreds of dollars every few months for the newest processor, motherboard or video card. Fortunately for us, there is always that diamond in the rough, that value-priced piece of hardware that truly offers exceptional performance without breaking the bank.
Today we will be taking a look at Palit's Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition graphics card, a higher-end card with several perks over the reference design that is sure to grab the attention of consumers around the globe. While it no longer holds the huge price advantage that it recently did over the GTX 260, it still has a lot to offer which we will explore today. The HD4870 arrived in the retail package you see above. Palit's robotic frog mascot can be seen on the front, along with a sticker detailing the card inside.
Around back, we find technical specifications in several different languages. Below is a list of these specs, borrowed from Palit's website. Coming in at a great price point (under $270 as of writing), this card has certainly garnished praise from many tech sites and end users alike. Continue ahead as we begin our evaluation of the Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition graphics card.

Nice review, though I think I missed the price somewhere. I really wish you could test at higher resolutions, which is where the 1GB framebuffer would come into its own. I don't see the point of a huge memory and running only 1680x, the memory would help much more at 1920x and 2560x. I understand this depends on the monitors you have available for the test, which is why it's even more surprising as you had 1920 in one of the tests and then none. This is obviously not a solution for me, AFAIK, but I'll wait for more tests at max resolutions.
Palit HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition. Palit Microsystems, or Palit for short, is a successful and popular video card vendor outside of North America. Finally we have the Smart Switch, which controls the dual BIOS that Palit has used with this card.

But its 16:9 resolution TV Thats why you can see 1920x1080 resolution in 1 gaming test. And 1 1920x1200 test was done when friend's dell landed here at my place for a day. Couldnt complete all tests that day as even this motherboard was to ship out the next day.
If someone sends me a 24incher for review and for keepers, i will start including high resolution results its really difficult to keep moving test rig to the televiosion set and back in my room. As far as the price goes. This is not yet available in India in retail afaik. I couldnt find it in stock with anyone. All say it is expected soon.
US retail pricing is same as any other HD4870 1GB card.
