In the past Gigabyte rested on their laurels,
seemingly content to ply their trade in the mom and pop shops with rebadged
reference cards but lately, things have really changed. Not only does the
GV-R485MC-1GI sport slightly increased clocks and a 1GB framebuffer but it is
also equipped with a passive cooling system. As you will see as the review goes
on, the boys over at Gigabyte have really stepped up to the plate with their
take on the HD 4850 and have produced a card to be proud of. @ Hardware Canucks
