Hong Kong start selling this card ATI HD 4870 !!!????

The guy bought one and run a few game benchmark and 3D Mark 2006 and 3D Vantage on It

What's with GPU-Z reporting the memory clock speed at 900MHz there? It just seems inexplicible when the HD 4850 has the memory clocked to ~1000MHz. I wonder if it's actually genuine?

how can that be a 4870? 56.7gb/s memory bandwidth. 900mhz (effective) memory.. compared to 2.0ghz (effective) or whatever the 4870 is going to have. Im guessing it's an engineering sample with some ddr3 strapped to it. Or its just a plain 4850.

3dmark is worthless as a benchmark.

Why? Because you cant score over 8000? LoL.

its a 900Mhz quad data rate so 3600Mhz effective

Well, that confirms what I'd been wondering. But it's rather annoding that they'd insist on calling it "GDDR5," when it clearly would be QDR, not DDR. I'm pretty sure the marketting geniuses would have NO problem selling the superiority of it without requiring it be one number higher than GDDR4.

I'm not entirely sure I'd trust that though. I would wait until the actual reviews come out before making any judgments.
