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?...

with a 4870 single card myself and probably a iGB card as well. Although personally im going for a single 4850 when i upgrade. Mactronix Thx for the advice. What brands would you recommend for a 4850/4870? My personal preferance is the HIS ICEQ range...

4870 vs 4850 Vs 260. Hello, I have been hearing to much Stuff (to cover up a naughty word) about the 260, 4850 and 4870. I have made this form to pritty much compare them. ok, if you have a 260, 4870, 4850 welcome if you dont F off na jjs just dont post...

Gainward 4850 + GDDR5. Enjoy!. Enjoy! There is almost no difference from a 4850 armed with GDDR5 then a regular 4870? A 4870 is a 4850 with GDDR5, so I dont understand how it would be cheaper. 4850's and 4870's are dirt cheap already. I highly doubt...

replace the 1GB 4870. I don't think the 4870 will go away, it will just be a new SKU. 4890 >4870>4850. If I'm right, the 4870 won't really get much cheaper, there will simply be the new even faster card at the $260 price point. Are the prices you mentioned...

previews. Its certain this card will demolish the G280. According to good rumor, this card will be a consistent 15% faster than the 4870 in CF. Itll sell at reportedly 500USD. Thats the current price of the G280, so naturally it will have to come down in price....

that matters, not just in one game that may be skewed to favor one card or another. Also, brands don't matter at this point. They're the same. Look at the 4870 Benchmarks on Anandtech the 4870 not the 4850 dude look there heh very well see I'm not...

in SoCal, so i would trade with 9800. Good luck trying to sell it at that price, but 4870 seem to manage the heat flow better than 4850 because of the aftermarket cooler. IMO just get another 4850 and crossfire that sucka, it'll be faster than 4870 or better...

Radeon HD4870 Benchmark. It should... The HD4870 is supposed to be higher middle range card and g200 should be high end card (with high end price ala 8800 GTX and ultra)... So it definitely should be much faster than 4870, but is it a worth of it's price......
