We're admittedly fond of Sapphire's exclusive Radeon HD 4850 X2. The dual-GPU solution launched back in November 2008 but only recently began to make sense following GeForce-countering price cuts of over £50.
If you're still not sure, Sapphire is taking the time to send out a gentle reminder by stating that it's one-of-a-kind card is now better than ever. According to the manufacturer, the card is now in volume production and both 1GB and 2GB models could see prices fall further. In addition, an updated fan-speed profile should keep the card quiet when in 2D mode, and a WHQL-certified driver is now available to download direct from AMD.
We wouldn't go as far as to call what is essentially a software-tweaked version of the same card "faster, quieter and cheaper", in fact, it's currently priced at around £265 - that's around £15 more than a fortnight ago.
Nonetheless, the card's already at a tempting high-end price point and the minor software tweaks just add a little icing to an already tasty prospect. In the right scenario, this is a £265 card that'll out perform others priced at £300 and over. Sapphire, it seems, just wants to be sure we're all aware.
