But dont make the mistake of thinking you can overclock a 4850 board to achieve the same performance as one based on the 4870 The latter uses GDDR5 memory while the former is limited to GDDR3.We never thought wed give even a qualified recommendation to a 130 videocard, but we can give this one a thumbsup.PowerColor nudged this cards core clock speed a wee bit to 635MHz 10MHz above stock, but left its 512MB of memory running at a stock 993MHz.
