The ATI Radeon HD 4870 is a high-performance graphics card based on the RV770 architecture, originally released by ATI (now AMD) in June 2008. It was the world's first graphics card to feature GDDR5 memory, providing a massive jump in memory bandwidth compared to previous generations. Built on a 55nm manufacturing process, the HD 4870 features 800 stream processors, a 256-bit memory interface, and supports DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.3. The card was designed to compete at the high end of the market, offering 1.2 Teraflops of single-precision compute power. It typically features a dual-slot cooling solution and requires two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors to satisfy its 150W TDP requirements. Standard outputs include two dual-link DVI-I ports and an S-Video out, with many variants including HDMI or DisplayPort via adapters.
