Hardware manufacturer Palit has announced an ATI HD 4850 which uses gddr5 memory. It is a special Sonic Edition, from the factory higher clock speeds and a cooler of our own design meekrijgt.
With the introduction of the HD 4850 Sonic Palit Special Edition was the first hardware manufacturer to a HD 4850 with gddr5 memory on the market. For it is only known that the card has 512MB gddr5 memory, the clock speeds of the GPU and memory are not yet published. Although the specifications of the Palit card briefly on his site mentioned, this is now removed. Via the Google cache of the page is still available.
The video has the Sonic-fan, as well as the HD 4850 Sonic Edition is available. Furthermore, the card has a DVI, VGA, HDMI and display port output. The video producer is not known when and for what price the HD 4850 Sonic Special Edition will be available.
To what extent Palits new HD 4850 is actually an HD 4850 is still to be seen. The only one which differs from a HD 4870 HD 4850 is the use of gddr5 memory and higher clock speeds. It also makes a regular HD 4850 use an 6-pin pci-e connector, but Palits HD 4850, like the HD 4870, using two 6-pin pci-e connectors. It is therefore likely that the GPU speed of the HD 4850 is above the standard 625MHz. The problem is that a normal HD 4870 at 750MHz graphic is that the HD 4850 Sonic Special Edition seems to have more of an HD 4870, then the HD 4850.
