Price Drop!!! 4870/4850

[Valset]

if they're going to release 47xx and 49xx cards at the same time, why not just call it the 56xx and 58xx

I think because the 4890 (or what ever its called) is going to be an souped up 4870, the 4700 is a die shrink I think, not a new architecture

Because it's based on the same core / generation... and this is ATI not Nvidia

This is all just awesome - a week after I get a 4830!

I didn't even know this particular cut was coming, so I'm kind of glad I sold off my 4870 and 4850 before this...
