GDDR5 is QDR... 50mhz = 200mhz


and I repeat that even in synthetics you only see an increase within the margin of error if at all. 4870's gddr5 is well capable of 1200mhz + so care to explain to me why world record 4870x2 benches are only run at 1000mhz ? its because there is an excess of bandwidth.
