Hi guys, I just move to Ati today. Really happy with the performance, Currently im running the fan at 50% thanks to coolice guides, the stock cooler manage to cool down the gpu really well from idle at 80c to 52c
Now the only down side is the sound that the fan produce >>> too loud lol
and here some picture

Nice card you got there.Why not try do some cable management.It may helps improve airflow.

maybe later, right now im too lazy

This card is quite worth it.

I've read that HD4850 is priced at USD199 and HD4870 at USD299 and they have performances on par with GTX 260 (USD 399) and GTX 280 (USD 499) respectively. They also use less power.

I guess all we have to put up is the high temperature, though. 80 degrees at idle? thats nuts...

Wah nice setups... but the cable

@Volt

hey volt, wat the ati card temp inside a05?

idle at 52c and load at 75c, quite good for a stock cooler.

guys...i need help here...
gigabyte 800watt odin gt psu is enough to power 4870 cf anot?

sure enough..

yup, should be enough. Found this link about system requirement for ati 4850 and 4870 >> http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonhd4800/requirements.html

better than nvdia 8800?

yeah better heeehhehhhehe

im running on my enermax 535w fan speed still stock no case idle 70c load 85c

but still not satisfied running on crosshair need ati chip chip chip

At least that setup is better than mine. So malas already to do cable management.

And now since using Xigmatek Achilles cannot close the side panel anymore

Before using Achilles



After using Achilles



Thats an ol skool Lian Li PC-70 by the way. Man I need to get a new case

BTW how come Volt's Sapphire 4870 got that RADEON sticker on it's side and mine doesn't?

lol.. kenot! at least 600W True Power .

CAn anyone run a 3dmark vantage test and tell me whether it will stutter or not? I am suffering from stutter, even at stock speed it stutter also. Stutter happens when the camera is moving, it will choke like 0.5secs.

Mine has too... and mine's showing the right way up since I don't run BTX casing.. hahahaha...

Don't mind if you state your source?

According to the results from this site, 4870 DOESN'T perform at par with GTX 280 although 4870 beats it in terms of price to performance ratio.
