2GB Radeon HD 4870…compliments of Sapphire

Video card and gaming buffs have a new toy to lust after.  Sapphire has gone ahead and upped the standard 1GB giving the reborn card a lofty 2 GB limit.  A limit that in reality won’t be touched in current games.  Why?  Well, games are currently developed with 512/768MB cards in mind because they make up the bulk of gaming rigs.  Even after clicking every option you can in the games display settings, you will still see a good chunk of that extra gig just sitting there.  However, if you must be the only kid in your class with the 2GB Radeon HD 4780, then by all means brag away.
