why not somethink like a 4830 with the disabled functionallity you describe?
4870 RV770 gpu, high clocks
4850 RV770 gpu, medium clocks
4830 RV770gpu, low clocks and some tiny bits disabled (like for exemple 16 rops)

i think this would able them to get higher yields, get an enthusast part, get an high end card and a high midrange card
