According to Expreview, PowerColor should soon offer a Radeon HD 4850 equipped with 2 GB of GDDR3, versus the usual 512 MB.


In addition, the GPU will be overclocked to 665 MHz representing a modest 6.4% increase while memory will stay at the reference 993 MHz. At first glance, we noted the standard PCB and therefore suppose that the 16 32 MB modules have been replaced by others with a size of 128 MB. Its price and launch date remain unknown; however, we wonder if an RV770 set at 665 MHz is really capable of benefitting from such a quantity of memory.
