ATI does it again with its latest GPU, combining superb performance with a reasonable price

A step behind ATI’s HD 4870 on price and performance.

A minor performance boost isn’t enough to fend off its rivals.

Hard to find, and not worth the typical price at all.

Decent power, but bigger, dearer and noisier than the HD 4850.

Still holding its own at this price, but note the HD 4830.

An affordable way to get excellent frame rates.

Expensive for a 7900 GS, but the increased clock speed sees it rival a 7900 GT.
