So I'm going to be buying either a 4850 or 4870 very soon but I'm really torn as to which one to go for.... the bandwidth is really lacking on the 4850 board but performance in games only seems to be about 20-25% lower. The question is will this gap widen in the future because of the huge bandwidth discrepancy or will it always hover around the 20-20% mark? Obviously 50% more cost for 25% more performance doesn't make sense from a price to performance standpoint.
Also is it worth it waiting around for 1GB boards? Or will 512 be fine until R870 (probably when I will upgrade next)?
