It is good to see HD4850 designs with 1GB of memory but I would be more interested in a 1GB HD4870 and how that would compare to a GTX280.

Although the two looks almost the same, actually they're different. As the reference card has a heatsink on the power module, while the sapphire one combines it to the main cooler. I don’t think so.
