Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 with 1 GB of memory

Sapphire video card is characterized by minimal tuning and doubled memory size.

Sapphire has officially pulled the lid off the 1-gig Radeon HD 3850: as described in our previous news reported, in addition to the GDDR3 version, we can also expect the arrival of an almost completely meaningless model, which also has 1 GB, but DDR2 memory chips await unsuspecting customers who fall for the better amount indicated on the price tag.

Despite the presentation, none of the cards are on the Sapphire website, but we can learn from the writings of well-informed foreign colleagues that GDDR3 memory is as effective at 1,66 GHz as the models with fewer VRAMs, and the RV670 graphics processor. it does its job at 670 MHz instead of the reference value of 703 MHz. Unfortunately, we still can't provide prices.
