4850@750Mhz vs 4870

You shouldn't have to do that. It's a shame that the dozens of hardware sites, that had both cards in their possession, didn't run this kind of test so you wouldn't be put in that position. It's like they took for granted that the 4850 would never hit the core speed of the 4870 and just ignored the possibility the GDDR5 is all fluff.

I enjoy doing this stuff. Most reviews aren't very good. Quantity does not necessarily equal quality. I appreciate the concern tho....
