Performance Notes
Watching this single-GPU card beat out the 3870 X2 is also cool. I mean, I really liked the X2, because it was a flawless execution of the multi-GPU concept, but I'm not heartbroken to see it upstaged by a $300 card.

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.
