As for making it a 2GB card... we have seen that there's nothing to gain from the additional capacity with a Radeon HD5870, so no reason to go for 2GB ( and raising the card's price more ).
And mostly, this card is aimed at the overclockers, so 1GB > 2GB
I agree on the price though, it could & should be lower than that.
Maybe someone on here could explain it to me better, is there a reason why they can only double the memory on these cards? Why cant they add another 256 megs or half a gig instead of doubling it?
