I was just curious if I could put a block meant for a 5850/70 on my reference ati 4890? From what I can see on the web the layouts are very similar with the exception of the one chip by the gpu which doesn't exist on the 4890. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
 
All it takes is one mosfet to be 1 mm right or left, a new cap to be in a new place, a new mem chip being .25mm thinner. The difference due to the power requirements on the older vs newer cards makes me say no way.
