Hello everyone. I'm kind of a regular around here but I came across something that confused me quite a bit. I'm looking to just do a video card upgrade for my system right now, and I've settled with the 4870 (the only way I would get something different would be if I could get a higher performing card for the same price somehow). While I was browsing on newegg I noticed some differences among the specs of the cards. After picking out popular ones and a couple that I thought looked good, here's what the 'compare' page looks like: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%201069633099%20106792627%201067940678&bop=And&ActiveSearchResult=True&CompareItemList=N82E16814102850%2CN82E16814129113%2CN82E16814102769%2CN82E16814150394%2CN82E16814102825%2CN82E16814121291
What has me the most confused is the memory clock speed. Two of the Sapphire cards are only running at '900MHz, 3.6Gbps'. I don't really understand this. Which one is it? And the XFX card has it's memory clock listed at 3600, while all the others are listed at 1800.
I'm pretty well versed in graphics cards but this has me perplexed.
Thanks for your help!! ^_^
