You can't have more memory bandwidth unless you overclocked your card or it's OCed from the factory. Refer to this link for more information: Click Here

I'm having issues as well. Weird thing is mine was working for a month and now only HL2 and CSS work. All others crash at startup or shortly after. I have reinstalled drivers, used driversweeper, installed driver only and not ccc. I'm stuck with hoping a reformat will work.

No clue how this happened btw.

Will the 4850 X2 have any problems fitting into an Antec 300 ?.

Nope, it'll fit just fine.

All i see available are the 1GB versions of the 4850x2 ? Why did Sapphire make a 1GB version anyway?

If i were to purchase two 4850x2`s, what PSU would i need? I can imagine them being very hungry.

Yeah, it's exactly 11.25" long so it'll be tight but will still work because the Antec 300 is pretty much the same size as the Antec 900 I used. And as you can see in the first post I got pics up. It fits good. Now I can brag about having the longest graphics card in the world. But anyways you'll be fine.

P.S: I am currently running Crysis and Crysis Warhead benchmarks. Will post the pics in a few minutes.

1000 watt PSU is fine. Even that new 850w Corsair PSU will be perfect. They actually don't take a lot of power and the second card won't use up full power anyways.

Sorry mistype. Fixed Yeah, definitely wanna go for the 2GB version. It such an amazing card like wow. I am thoroughly impressed with it and I think you will be too. In fact the price difference between the HD4870X2 and the HD4850X2 doesn't justify the performance difference. It's very minuet. So to answer your question get the 2GB version.

Alright thnx for the heads up, one last question, is the size of the card an issue when running in CrossFire? &what about the noise? Reviews say the card is very noisy is it that bad? I cant imagine what the noise would be like if two of the cards were to be running
