ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

Any word on the layout of the HD-4850/HD-4870 ? Last thing I read (dunno where) was that the PCB will equal the one of the HD-3870.

No, the pcb will be different. I believe this old picture is still the only pcb picture out on the internet.

wasn't it proven to be fake?

FischOderAal,
Just the version with the pasted GPU is fake. AFAIK, there's no reliable info on what the card with the dummy GPU actually is.

the upper one is RV670, I would be surprised if that one would've been fake

thanks for the Info, then I'll have to keep waiting

maybe I should go for GPU-only watercoolers...
