Seems to be a compatibility problem.

Who is the manufacturer of the video-memory? (you can read the name on the 8 small memory-chips)

Maybe the momory of your Radeon is higher then usual...

I have been looking around and my memory seems to be standard for the 4870 so i can`t realy see how that should be the problem.
The layout on my card is as far as I can see identical to reference design! It must be some problem with the wb..
