Radeon HD 4850 up close and personal
What's better than press photos of the upcoming Radeon HD 4850 but not as good as actual performance results you ask? Since it's Saturday and we're feeling pretty lazy let's just say non-press photos. Not coincidentally that's exactly what you can see below, some real, up close and personal pictures of the cheapest RV770-powered card currently in plan, the Radeon HD 4850.
The new card is set to offer 480 Stream Processors, a 256-bit memory interface, 512 MB of GDDR3 memory and something that apparently Nvidia can only dream about, DirectX 10.1 support. From the looks of it, the HD 4850 is not very different from its predecessor, with the upcoming card's length, cooling solution and connectivity being strongly resembling the HD 3850. The Radeon HD 4850 is expected to be released around June 18.
