Thanks jimmyz, but when should we expect the rest of the benches ??? Again thank you very much, for the time you spend to share these results with us.
Looks like a winner at its pricepoint...waiting for more!

I'm hearing $299 for the 512 and $329-349 for the 1GB around the various forums... sounds reasonable to me. The memory's expensive but not so expensive it will boost the price obscenely.
/me continues drooling for more benches, and can't wait to see the 4870 in a few days too!
Friends shouldn't let friends use Windows 7 until Microsoft fixes Windows Explorer (link)
nice to see some trustworthy results. i'd like more than 512mb aswell.

Very fine work jimmyz
Seems AA causes almost no hit with the new Radeons,when enabled.Great news,waiting for more tests.
Stargazer,seems your wish for real gaming results is coming to fulfillment
IF 4870 performs ~30% better than this,than GTX260 is in deep ***,especially when factory OCed versions of 4870 hit the shelves(can you say 40% faster than todays 4850 tested here ? ).Oh also,Crysis appears to run good on new 4850 .

I scored 1580 on my system on extreme settings, GPU score 1460.
I need an upgrade.
Wouldn't 1GB of VRAM only be beneficial (compared to 512MB) at very high resolutions? I guess very high resolution textures might be a factor as well.
Anyone care to clarify?
High resolutions, high anisotropic filtering, high texture resolutions... beneficial for many things. Crysis Very High, HL2 modded with Cinematic Mod 7, Oblivion with QTP3/other mods push 700mb or more of memory at 1680x1050-1920x1200. There's other games too of course but those come to mind immediately.
Really? I figured the 256MB of VRAM on my 7800GTX was throttling me down most of the time, considering I run at 1680x1050.
I guess I should consider an HD4870 1GB then... Though it always seems that 1GB versions of cards are ridiculously more expensive than their 512MB counterparts.
I want my 20k 3dm06... with CF, it looks like I might finally get it.
1.7%
All the 1GB cards to this point have been complete and total marketing schemes. The 1GB GDDR5 on the 256bit 4870 and the 1GB GDDR3 on the 512bit GTX 280 will make for the first cards that use this extra memory as more than a gimmick.
The differences on Crysis at 1920x1200 4x AA between the 4850 and 4870 1GB should be substantial (neither will be playable though )

^no..i think both will be playable:thumbsup:
^if the window res is 960x600, alt-enter-ing to fullscreen will be still the same res
settings the game.cfg res to desired will help(in my games folder) . do remember to click the command promt/dos type window when u get teh message 'press any key to ....' don't click anywhere else when u do that(out o the window)
hope that helps for certain
It's the drop from 2x to 4x, if you look. As such, the small hit isn't too surprising.
Although, COJ isn't the title to test to see if AA performance is fixed. Why? Because COJ forces Shader based AA, so it's doing AA exactly the same as the R6xx in that title.
If we really want to check on the AA/AF hit, you'll want to use a title like Oblivion or UT3. Something that doesn't force specific methods of AA(even Crysis doesn't use traditional AA methods).
Don't forget my favourite bench : 3dm03 ! It seems that this little card is quite interesting.
Nice thread m8 , keep up the good work .
