Hello,
I'm just wondering since there are a bunch of 4870 card out there with 1GB of memory, does anyone here have Gigabyte's GV-R487-1GH-B model??
It's by far the cheapest one you can buy, and i'm wondering if there's a reason for that in performance or something, but then on the other hand most of these cards are the same (ATi design) just with a re branded cooler sticker.
Also someone told me that the latencies on the 1GB models were a bit higher, and that even though you have more memory, you get a bit "slower" memory. Is there any thruth in that, since the 1GB model is about 50$ more than the 512MB version...
Oh well,
If anyone has some inputs, specially for the Gigabyte card i'd appreciate it.
Tom,
