Now that AMD has let loose its latest Radeon 4800 Series of graphics cards, GIGABYTE has announced its GV-R487-512H-B and GV-R485-512H-B variants based on the HD 4870 and HD 4850 respectively.

As expected this early on, both cards strictly follow the ATI reference design, but I'm sure it won't be long before we see the company begin to mix it up with its reknowned TurboForce Editions etc.
