2x 1GB DDR3 Ram

this one's the culprit for tpu

even a GTX285 produces unexciting results with 2GB, but with 4GB, the card roars to life.

oh, yes
didnt notice
even with a card like 8800GT and a c2d, 2GB seems to be kinda low no matter what its frequency is.
and in that bench, its not only enuf to pull thru higher resolution, but is runing in dual channel only, while triple channel is possible and other benchmarkers are using triple.

yeah, the new standard itself is 4GB, and it's dead cheap, 1.9k tht's it.

BTW, one more review, where HD4770 CFX wipes away competition, except at 2560x1600 resolution.
