Reputation: 3984 Rep Power: 72 | There's a typo on 512MB. It's supposed to be 2GB. All 4850 (reference card) comes with GDDR3, while 4870 comes with GDDR5. As for the reason why 2GB is slower than 512MB, answer is simple. The RAM clockspeed is actually slower, and most games will not benefit from the additional RAM buffer. |

Reputation: 111 Rep Power: 2 | know and i dont see a point of making a gpu with 2Gb of ddr3 on it 1Gb is also too much but it will benefit only video decoding/encoding so why did they put 2Gb maybe only to get more cash for gpu that dose not haves enough power
