Just got myself a Sapphire Dual Slot 4850 from ebuyer. The only other dual slot I've seen in stock is the Toxic and that costs £155!
how about getting the cheapest 4850 you can find and strapping an akasa vortexx to it? its like they were made for each other http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=810140

There is just one review I know that compares 1GB version Vs 512MB one. I'm not sure where you got your info from tbh.
techpowerup emulated 4870 1GB with an X2 card and run lots of benchmarks against 512MB card. Results are weird anyway.
If you know other review with proper 1GB card please let us know![]()
My comment doesn't say anything about amount of memory - I was talking about memory bus.
It's probable that going to 1gb of ram on the 4850 is pointless, however that will have nothing at all to do with the 256bit bus, as the 4870 shares that exact same memory bus width, yet can perform at much higher levels given faster memory and clock speed.

Does anyone have any more info on this 1GB vs 512MB video memory issue?
Basically, I am after a 4850 and it's boiled down to the 512MB Sapphire for £111.92 at PC World or the 1GB Asus for £122.19 at SCAN. Yes, it's only £10 difference, and I would be looking to get an aftermarket cooler for either of them.
Part of me thinks, sod it, it's only £10, what harm can it do having the extra RAM, as I will be keeping the card for 18 months probably. Then, the other part of me reasons it probably won't make any perceptible difference in the games I play, limited to 1600x1200, and in situations where it might make a difference the framerates of any 4850 card will probably be unplayable anyway! But then it's only £10!
Any objective information would be gratefully received.
I went and got the Sapphire from PC World today, got it for a great price, so I thought I might as well!
