The 4850 is paired with a QX6850 at 4.0GHz, and the 4850 has clock speeds of 670/1100, and it has 800 SPs and 32 TMUs. It's score is not impressive.

but 2900s have always had drastically inflated 06 scores compared with their game performance, ever occurred to you that the 4850 is a different architecture...?
