As expected XFX has unveiled its first creations using graphics circuits from AMD. The manufacturer that was long faithful to NVIDIA has now started selling cards based on the Radeon HD 4000 family and as we have told you in the past and it hasn’t just restickered some reference cards but put a lot of work into this. It has chosen to come up with its own solutions, especially the Radeon HD 4850 and 4830 models as these are shipped with a new cooler.
