Performance Notes

Great video card, beaten by the 280, costs half as much. We've all been there. I should mention that fast hardware is literally rewarding for me to review, since the timedemos go so much faster. This card pleases me.

Ports : Dual DVI,HDTV-out with VIVO ??? VIVO is for Video In, Video Out , I'm sure there's no 4870 model with VIVO so far, call it TiVO if you must ...

That's pulled straight from their website, and it's gotta be a typo of "Avivo", the video playback processing engine of all HD ATI cards.
