Radeon HD 4730 now available
PowerColor for €72 in Germany
PowerColor's stopgap Radeon HD 4730, based on the 55nm RV770LE core is now available in Germany, for just €72. The price seems quite fair, as you get a 700MHz GPU with 640 stream processors and 32 texture units, along with 512MB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus.
Basically it ends up €10 to €15 cheaper than the 40nm RV740-based HD 4770, and it's also a bit cheaper than the HD4850. We haven't tested it yet, but you should probably expect performance to match its price, i.e. it should be a tad slower than the HD 4770.
You can get it here.
