There can be no doubt about the success of the RV770 (Radeon HD 48xx), but at Sapphire they felt an irresistible desire to "surprise" us with another HD 3850 variant.
Looking at the cooler, we can already guess that this time we didn’t just stumble upon a beaten Radeon HD 3850. If we take a closer look at the card box, we get the answer right away: the RV670PRO GPU is surrounded by 1GB of memory, but of the slower type, as this time DDR3 chips, not GDDR2 chips, were added to the printed circuit board.
