No Samsung memory for Non-turbo... :-( Well I got a chance to pull off the cooler and see what exactly was under the card. Sure enough there was an RV770:), and the 4 phase power design :cool:, but no samsung memory chips. Instead I found Qimonda memory modules :confused:. I was kind of...

I'll pull out the card again and verify this, but from a manufacturing stand point it would be easier to build them with all the same memory and "Bin" them differently.

I finally resolved my issues by using the Beta versions of both ATItool and ATI tray tools. Both seem to support the HD4850 well, although on the ATI tray tools, the 3D rendering gives me a message about incorrect OpenGL versions and I need to update my driver (weird). It still works well for...
