Is there much diff between a HD3870 running GDDR3 compared to one running GDDR4? Was just wondering before i went and bought a second GDDR3 for crossfire. Robotnix didnt have any HD3870gddr4 in stock so i bought the gddr3 one from MB just incase anyone was wondering.

Slower memory speed, but it will still work in CF

So would i be better off then taking the gddr3 ver back and getting a gddr4 ver instead and buying a second gddr4 ver for the crossfire then. or just keep the gddr3 ver i have and buy a second gddr3?

Your best bet would be to buy a 4850 now!
