GPUReview's HD 4850 & HD 4870 overclocking round up!

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 04:24:01 Wed, June 25, 2008

I hope some more HD 4870 overclocking results show up soon, but until then, here's what we got so far. Congrats to Guru3D on taking the HD 4850 crown. Also, GDDR5 running at 4,400MHz is very shiek this season. That takes the memory bandwidth of that HD 4870 from 115.2 GB/sec to 140.8 GB/sec.

The memory on the HD 4870 sure has a big overclocking potential... too bad the bandwidth doesn't make a massive difference (performance wise) at those numbers .

Well if they used a 512 bit instead of 256 bit memory, it would be a different story. Apparently the design of ATI allows them to use the DDR5 as a selling point and they can still keep up or exceed the comparable #'s of nvidia.
