700mhz wall on HD4850 is smashed.

Hey guys been awhile since i have posted here.

I am getting a HIS 4850 and all i want is similar speeds as the 4870, can we just not flash it with a 4870 Bios?

Or

What do i have to do to get it to the speeds of the 4870?

I see Guru has a HIS card and Bios uploaded, can i just flash the card to that Bios and do nothing else?

Will i get 750mhz and whatever on the memory which Guru has set?

Should we wait for the Overclocked Versions of these cards to arrive and flash the bios with the overclocked Bios?

Thks

no you will wind up with a 200 dollar paperweight, aside from using a similar core these cards have nothing in common with the 4870. the 4870 has GDDR5 memory VS GDDR3 for the 4850, they have different chips controlling speeds and voltages also.

you could wait for some 4850 OC editions and flash to their bios or use RBE 1.1 to set the clocks you want and do either a pencil or hardmod.
