when physics calculation involve during cpu test 2, on ati system it use the cpu resources..
on nvidia system, it been processed inside the gpu.. so not strain the cpu much.. since they acquired AGEIA PhysX..

u should look on gpu score only for comparison.. that's huge..

take it with a huge chunk of salt. AMD or any corporation will never cannibalize their own product. Expect september or october the earliest.

i just installed CCC11.1 but something strange appears...
why in GPU-Z,MSI Afterburner,even in CCC itself the catalyst version is detected as CCC10.8...sighhh

same as mine...in ccc also 10.11...wht give?

It shows the previous driver version that you installed before upgrading to 11.1.

when im playing battle field 2 , my gpu load reach 83c omg...any remedy guys?

im using a hd5850 reference cooler =.=

that isn't really hot yet,anyway why don't you try cleaning the heatsink?

omg? u sure? its 83c

i do not dare to open up the heatsink cuz i have no idea how it works and where the screws and shiats located.

im affraid that i will void the warranty too

wow.. that's weird?
Do you OC it?

usually, i just brush up the fan since too many dust..
no need to find the screw..

Manual increase the GC fan speed via CCC or Afterburner...
Try it yourself whether you like the noise or not...
Increase your case airflow as well...

my CPU max load is only at 57c at 4ghz i5 2500k.

im pretty sure my casing airflow is very good...i think i needa wash my gpu hsf edi

hey guys, current setup is i5 760+ HD5850 + 4gb ram

when i play need for speed hot pursuit it kinda lags, any solution to this? actually should i change any settings on the CCC?

Hi all. I'm currently using a stock 4850 that came with my system (bought from dell) . Its getting on a bit and is bloody noisy when i play some games.

I was wondering which graphic card would be a good option to upgrade to ? Also , is it difficult to change a graphic card (sorry no computer building experience) .

what is your budget? no budget no talk. anyway if in my opinion, i take 6950 CF immediately.

About 500-600. Stretchable to 700 i guess . Prefer one that isn't over excessively hot while still delivering good perfomance / quiet.

It's either a HD6850 or a GTX460 1GB,the cheapest HD6850 i can find is the Sapphire HD6850 at RM599 while the cheapest GTX460 1GB i can find is the Leadtek GTX460 1GB OC RM549,both price are from Lowyat Plaza.

Went for a Gigabyte 6850. So glad to be rid of my 4850.

woot.. what's wrong with 4850 anyway?
i'm using gaygaybyte 1GB OC version of 4850
2 years+ and still going strong

I recently downloaded the 11.1 drivers and now its giving me bsod's.
Anyone encountering the same thing? Its ati(something).sys
