Non-Sapphire 4850x2. :(

[TheBlueChanell]

Has anyone heard any info on any non-sapphire 4850x2's. I've had no luck with google and I've been wondering for a while now if AMD just decided to pull the plug on the card, or if it's just been slow to the market. When I was @ the AMD Event in Chicago in December I asked them about the card and they said that the non-sapphire cards would be out shortly...

It's almost to the middle of February now and I haven't heard of single lick of news pertaining to a 4850x2 other than the Sapphire. I was hoping XFX would release one.

Kyle you know anything?

I heard rumors that the other partners were coming out with their 4850X2's recently...
Although, these were people who own the 4850X2 and were trying to defend it. So if they start posting in this thread, don't believe them until they give you a link.

Back on November 4th 2008 I said this:

Sapphire is the only manufacturer that will be making this card.

I said that because these sites said these things:

Today we are going to look at the HD4850 X2, an exclusive beast from Sapphire set to slot in directly below the class leading 4870 X2...

Sapphire as one of the biggest AMD add in board partners is the first to actually deliver a HD 4850 X2. Actually based on the information we got so far, Sapphire is the only board partner who will have a HD 4850 X2.

there was some rumor about a reference card from ATI but so far all I have seen is sapphire. really they are not bad as a company, they just look that way compared to BFG

ATI = who makes the card

ATI = who makes the card

ATI had very little to do with the 4850X2, when compared to the reference models of the 4850 and 4870.
