It seems to be a good week to be buying an ATI graphics card. Just the other day, we found that prices were beginning to tumble on the Radeon HD 4870 - a result of the recent arrival of the mid-range Radeon HD 4770, we felt.

Today, we're seeing an equally impressive price drop on ATI's flagship card - the Radeon HD 4870 X2 - as an XFX derivative is being sold at SCAN.co.uk* at a cost of £263.90. Remember, this is a card that continues to be ATI's fastest offering, and has recently been priced at £330 or more.

It's a healthy price cut, we reckon, and despite being toppled by NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295 as the fastest single-card solution in the world, it'll still offer gamers a ridiculous amount of power.

Well, considering you can pick up 2 4870s for £220 they have to come down in price.
Did someone say 4890 X2 ??? :rockon2:

Not that I heard, no. I'd rather see a 4770 X2 for ~ £170… ;)

Care to drop me a link with where you're finding two of these for £220, unless you mean the 512mb models?

Edit: With the price drops I guess this makes the 4870x2 a much better solution than the GTX285, being both faster and cheaper, right?
