I'm one of the 3870 user that switch to 4850 without any regret. I felt the performance difference, if budget is a limitation, 4850 GS is a pretty good choice. Longer warranty and good after sales support is a great plus when your product has failed, I've experienced it before, so better safe than never. Second hand gpu is another alternative for budget concern group.

Correct, 4770 is great for budget user, it's even better than 4830. If you OC it, it will be in the realm of 4850.

Weird, all those 4800 series that use reference design sure can control the fan speed one. May be need to use like Rivatuner like kuance said.

4870 can play MOST games in 1920x1080 reso, but games such as far cry 2. crysis, stalker clear sky may not be playable at that reso

I always got no luck with Catalyst Overdrive for my 4850, or should I say nightmare OC with it. I need to restart the PC even with 5Mhz of memory or core OC. Whereas Rivatuner give me stable OC from my testing at those speed or higher. But I would rather save the OC, not much performance difference, by softmod, that is my point of view.

Woohoo! Finally upgraded my graphics card today, from that crappy Integrated Graphics Accelerater from Dell to the ATI HD 4770. It was difficult to find but found it at C-Zone in Lowyat for RM399. I couldn't really bargain as nobody takes a kid seriously..

I have to say, I'm kinda disappointed. FIFA 09 looks more fluid for sure, but the players still have white outlines. But at least I can play Devil May Cry 4 and Drakensang at amazing quality now biggrin.gif

erm... what is the differences between ATi and Nvidia? price also different... why? newbie

Each got their own attractiveness. But for the same price range, the performance is similar. Unless you got a fetish on Phsyx. But I'm not pros here, there are more in the topic. biggrin.gif

DXVA Guide

Hope the above link can help you out for using the DXVA to play HD video. It's using MPC player. Not all HD video support though, but it's good to give it a try. I have tested it on HD4850, HD3200, and 8600GT, some 1080p video lag even with dual core processor.

When you're playing a video, go to View>Renderer Settings>Display Stats, it should mention DXVA status on one of those stats, see whether it's enable or not.

Good luck. icon_rolleyes.gif If can play, no need to upgrade the system. rclxms.gif
