Gainward Readies Radeon HD 4850 GS GLH Card with 512 MB of GDDR5 Memory

malware · Mar 17, 2009

NVIDIA partner Gainward is preparing to launch a custom Radeon HD 4850 that, instead of the usual GDDR3 memory, utilizes GDDR5 memory. Gainward calls the card Radeon HD 4850 Golden Sample Goes Like Hell, pretty long name for a card, but you can always use the Radeon HD 4850 GS GLH abbreviature. The card's specifications include 512 MB of GDDR5 memory with 256-bit memory interface, a dual-slot cooler, and D-Sub, DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI connectors. Clock speeds for this particular model are 700 MHz for the GPU and 3600 MHz for the memory. Gainward's HD 4850 512MB GS GLH is expected to hit the stores in a few weeks time.

Whats the improvement of GDDR5 over GDDR3?

HossHuge · Mar 17, 2009

so it's a underclocked 4870?

A quad data rate over the double data rate of DDR3. 800mhz DDR5 = 1600mhz DDR3. Also runs cooler and takes less power.

Impressive jacking of GLH, but I wonder what they will be priced at.

csendesmark · Mar 17, 2009

They are so smart, they invented the 4870... again

InnocentCriminal · Mar 17, 2009

If they price this at £120 inc VAT here in the UK, then I may purchase one over a 4870.

BrooksyX · Mar 17, 2009

Umm, why? This is just basically an underclocked 4870. Honestly just give it a little extra voltage via a software mod and up the core clock by like 100mhz and it will be a 4870.

you'll be lucky, im guessing it'll be around £150, I mean, come on! the regular 4850's are around the £110 mark now

InnocentCriminal · Mar 17, 2009

Which is why I'm hoping they'll price this one accordingly, but you're right. We won't see it at a decent price.

We never do - we are in the UK after all. Something can be £200 here but only $200 in the states, its ridiculous.

method526 · Mar 17, 2009

all 4850s should have this in the first place -_-

btarunr · Mar 17, 2009

That cooler looks familiar...ah, the Palit GTS 250 we reviewed has the same one.

theorw · Mar 17, 2009

If it has 2 6pin connectors then its just a 4870 underclocked.Either way with voltmod u can surpass a 4870!

Lol when talking "again," Nvidia is a good suspect. But I do agree this is the same stuff... Wonder how many stream procs it has.

eidairaman1 · Mar 18, 2009

4850 Now has GDDR5, i knew it was coming, AMD is moving away from GDDR3
