The ASUS EAH4870
The ASUS EAH4870 is a dual-slot graphics card that is about 11.12 cm thick and 24.13 cm long. With its bright-red PCB, you certainly cannot mistaken it for an NVIDIA graphics card. The card itself does not have the same Alone In The Dark motif that the box had. Instead, it has the same "warrior girl" motif like the basic EAH4870 card. As mentioned earlier, both the EAH4870/G and the EAH4870 are actually one and the same graphics card. The only difference is the addition of the Alone In The Dark game.

Like all new graphics cards, the ASUS EAH4870 supports PCI Express 2.0 with a 5 Gbps signalling rate. When used with a motherboard that supports PCI Express 2.0, this Radeon HD 4870 card will have effectively double the PCI Express bandwidth of PCI Express 1.0 cards.
Of course, that does not mean the EAH4870 will be twice as fast as older PCI Express graphics cards. In fact, PCI Express bandwidth will only have a minimal effect on its graphics processing capability. The EAH4870 will still run fine on your current motherboard even if it only supports the PCI Express 1.1 standard. It is backward compatible with PCI Express 1.1 and will merely revert to the 2.5 Gbps signalling rate and a lower 8 GB/s bandwidth with these motherboards.
