    Memory speed will be 2200MHz rather than 1986MHz and compared to the same card with GDDR3 it will have a 10MHz faster GPU as well.

    All in all it should represent a decent boost in performance but price will dictate if its worth the extra money. We will have to wait for a review I guess. Also do not expect the same performance gains GDDR5 offers that is way way faster than anything GDDR4 can provide.

    Oh and here is a link to the card in English

    I guess it will be intresting to see the release price of this card aswell as the OC ability, it could well become the 4850 to get if it can keep the price close to the normal 4850 pricing range.
