Palit Radeon HD 4870 512MB

If you've been holding off on an upgrade for a while, there's no reason to continue if a gaming addiction is pulling at your sleeve. The selection for mid-range cards right now is ideal, and anything you pick up will deliver good performance for the money. The best card for the buck right now might be the HD 4870, and we take Palit's version for a spin to find out why.

You can read the full review here and discuss it here!

Don't you Canadians observe labor day?

Most do, I don't!
