It is always real fun to see that whenever a product becomes successful,
manufacturers will do anything to create as much diversity as possible;
obviously to catch attention and create products for any budget available.
Sometimes however, a manufacturer can go so far that you have to scratch
behind your ears, once maybe even twice and think "hmm, that's not gonna
work I think".
Today we have such a product in the house. The graphics card we will test
today is based on the immensely popular Radeon HD 4850. Probably the best
value card one can buy. These cards at default come with 512 MB gDDR3
memory. Now, I can see a manufacturer double up that memory to 1 GB. The
effect would be small but measurable when you play games in very high
resolutions. Then, there is an incremental step to that as well, and that's
what we'll test today. PowerColor released a Radeon HD 4850 graphics card
with, get this ... 2 GB of memory.
But hey, perhaps we'll see wonders. Will the step between 512MB and 2 GB
differ very much in overall performance?
