The Radeon HD 4850 is comprised of a staggering 800 (160x5) SPUs, 40 TAUs and 16 ROPs. Compare this to the 320 (64x5) SPUs, 16 TAUs and 16 ROPs of the Radeon HD 3870 and you can quickly begin to understand why we feel this card could be much more potent than current mid-range offerings. Also to be noted, the Radeon HD 4850 boasts a memory bandwidth of 64GB/s, while the Radeon HD 3870 was limited to 57.6GB/s of bandwidth.  Surprisingly however, the core and memory clock frequencies are not all that impressive. The Radeon HD 4850 features a core clock frequency of just 625MHz and a GDDR3 memory speed of 2000MHz DDR. This is lower than a previous generation Radeon HD 3870, however just like it the 4850 uses a 256-bit memory bus, which seems to be the norm for any card costing less than $600!  While ATI has dropped out of the race to deliver the most advanced and complex GPUs, they are still kicking along with some very impressive products. The Radeon HD 4850 is actually the third fastest product in the new 4000 series to be announced thus far. ATI fans will have the more expensive Radeon HD 4870 to look forward to in the coming weeks.

Sell Sapphire 2x4850 + XFX 8800GTX can buy 2x4870 or not?     
But 2x4870 power hungry. Sampai bil letrik mau pengsan 

Palit-owned Gainward has decided that monogamy isn't all that great and a little ménage a trois would be a lot nicer and more profitable. As a result, the company has now announced that it will be adding a couple of RV770 cards to its product line-up. Leaving Nvidia exclusivity to rot in the desert, Gainward revealed its own Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 cards, both of which you can see below.

All red and lovely, the cards are based on AMD/ATI's reference design and thus feature stock cooling system and clocks. The Radeon HD 4850 has 512MB of GDDR3 memory set to 1986 MHz, 800 Stream Processors and a GPU clocked at 625 MHz while the HD 4870 can say it's equipped with 3600 MHz-clocked 512MB of GDDR5 memory and a GPU with a frequency of 750 MHz.

Both new cards feature PC-Express 2.0, DirectX 10.1 support and the ability to make Nvidia fanboys cry (BEd: Not tears, I've got something in my eye).
