SAPPHIRE HD4870 PCIE 512MB CTLRDDR3
DDR3? How is it actually better then a 4850 then?
although they did NOT specify that it is GDDR3... GDDR3 = DDR2 + some different abilities.
GDDR 5 = DDR3 + some different abilities.
Think they might have used regular DDR3 in there and it is the right speed? No, that makes little to no sense, at all whatesoever... so what the hell is going on?
Is AMD seeing an opportunity and now scrambling to make some "lower end" models of the 4870 to fit in the price the promised, and then jacking up the price on the proper card to match the GTX 280? It would be sound business practice on their part. (it is not illegal price setting if your counterpart just jacks up their prices, and then you follow suit without meeting them to coordinate such a raise)
