Call of Duty 4 has always had a tendency to sway toward Radeon GPUs. Nonetheless, the reference HD 4870 X2 delivered competition-spanking performance and the HD 4870 X2 ATOMIC raises the bar another 5-6fps.

There's no doubting Sapphire's claims - the Radeon HD 4870 X2 is simply the fastest single-board graphics card to ever grace our labs.
