4850 1gb vs 4870 512mb. As far as I've understood the only difference between the 4850 and the 4870 is that the 4850 has GDDR3 and the 4870 has GDDR5. Would it therefore be reasonable to expect the 4850 1gb to preform similarly to the 4870 512mb on benchmarks?...

will disagree with me :D My 4850 ran pretty much anything at 1680x1050 with no problems (I didn't try Crysis though, must admit) Temps will be fine - my single-slot 4850 (512mb - I forget the brand) ran a lot quieter than my current 4870 - any card that...

the other cards on a 19" screen? Will 4870 performs much better than the 4850 on 1440x900, given that it is $100 more expensive? Is 1gb memory really needed for this resolution? 4870 perform better than 4850, but not exactly "much better." 1440x900 is around...
