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.
i guess calling it Graphics Double Data Rate was a stupid idea then?
not sure about all benchmarks but memory bandwidth wouldn't do as much for benchmarks without AA,just like 4850 does well for its core speed when compared to 4870without AA but falls back more than the core speed difference when AA is set to 4x and especially 8x.
