why different brand has different bios ? ocbility some more.  rolleyes.gif
try to compare palit with others when you really own one unit of them  smile.gif

if u say to me got different hardware related -caps,ram etc... that i can accept..
if u saying just becoz of bios, small oc different.. i just can say it's just base on luck..
get the fact right before saying like that.. compare with the brand?
u really think they want to spoil the brand by produce the bad product?

different setup will reflect the vary results..
we can use other brand bios by just force flash it..

1 good news is, somehow, 4850 has dropped price of around RM80. this is based on my asus pricelist from server, compared with the 1 i received last month, and few days ago. whistling.gif

hi all sifu. i've been using nvidia cards all these while from 6600gt->7900gs. recently seem that ATi beat the crap out of NVidia. glad to hear that smile.gif.

it's tempting me to buy 4850.. it's actually equivalent to nvidia 9800gtx right? wanna know if there's any performance/graphics quality/compatibility issue when using ATI card when playing game especially with games with the 'NVidia' logo?

thanks notworthy.gif

QUOTE(studwo @ Jul 18 2008, 05:57 PM)
question towards ati 4XXX users...
1) what casing u use?
2) are u using 3rd party cooler? If got pls tell brand
3) are u happy with what are using?( related with the two questions)
4) u use brand? 4850 or 4870..
*



1) CoolerMaster Cosmos S (AirFlow: Bottom = 1 Intake, Back = 1 Output, Top = 3 Fans output)
2) Thermaltake DuOrb VGA Cooler (idle 49c, load 65~68c)
3) Yes
4) Sapphire 4870 512mb

I tried setting the stock cooler fan to 60%. crap dat thing is as noisy as a 500watts hairdryer. Couldn't stand it, ask my couz to courier me the TT DuOrb from Singapore. With the TT, my pc is in total silence and the temperature is even lower than 'fan setting 60% of the stock cooler'.

I'm using the entry lvl fans from CoolerMaster. Planning to get the 50CFM Silent fans very soon.

ATi has always been the one with a more superb IQ, likes what pikacu stated. You can check the websites (google lah) and see for yourselves if you want. Xbitlabs is a good one.

Hopefully you guys words are not biased/fanboyish tongue.gif. I'm no fanboy of ATi or NVidia nor i am fanboy of Intel/AMD.

As long as a product is best bang for buck performance ratio and don't have much huge drawbacks, i'm all for it tongue.gif. And thank you all so much for the insights. Btw, can HD4850 play crysis on at least high settings at 1680x1050? smile.gif

@skylinegtr34rule4life
So when you gonna upgrade to 4850 or 4870? tongue.gif

Well, I guess you can. I don't get what they mean by max details though. My theory would be High settings, you can't get that fps with very high.

Here's another, clearly stated at highest settings.

user posted image

You should be hoping that's the minimum fps. A minor setback of .2 fps wouldn't cost you much.

Thanks for the benchie blindbox. Hmm.. at 1680x1080 without AA or AF, FPS about 37.1. Hardly smooth or playable i would say. Well guess no cards mid end cards can tame down Crysis still tongue.gif
