The mem specs in the first charts are wrong.

An impressive card for sure. That's going to be a tough decision around Christmas, when I'm going to update my graphic card(s) hopefully.

A good review as always

I noticed you talking about people not being able to distinguish between the different colors.

For me its not that I can't tell the different colors apart because my monitor is set up improperly, its that you use different shades of the same color.

Now I can do it, it just takes extra effort.

Maybe use different colors (red, black, green, etc) instead of blue, light blue, baby blue,etc.

Other than that, its always a joy to read your articles and I always look forward to the next

The cheapest 4870 costs around 200,- € here, that renders the tested card more or less useless IMO.

Ok, I really want to buy this card, but I have one thing I'm worried about.

From the pictures it looks like the RAM has no heat sinks. What the hell?

I don't want to buy this thing if the ram is gonna burn up in a week.
