Hello everyone, I have several questions and curiosities(maybe contradictions as well?) that I am hoping can be answered and explained, respectively.
First off, I have a gx70 gpu with a 8970m discrete graphics card and 8650g integrated. Catalyst and GPUZ both show the 8970 with a 160GB/s memory bandwidth. However, Catalyst shows the 8650G with a 12.8GB/s bandwidth while GPUZ shows 25.6GB/s. That's exactly double the amount so i'm guessing there's something to that.
Second, I have been given an offer of 2 hd 4870 cards and i'm wondering if that would give me any upgrade to over my laptop's gpu. I have come upon a review of a 4870x2 card (dual gpu card) that's supposed to have 230GB/s of bandwidth, but a GPUZ snapshot of that card on the same review shows only 64GB/s. It's possible that I misunderstood what I saw so I am adding a link to the review: http://www.legitreviews.com/palit-radeon-4870-x2-crossfire-video-card-review_766.
Would appreciate any help or advice given on this matter, thank you.
