oops, my bad.

Thanks. I'll probably tone down the memory speeds later, but the temperatures were so good I couldn't resist trying.

Yup it's a Sapphire card. By the way this is the first time I'm using an ATi card. My previous cards were Geforce 4 Ti 4200, and the 8800GTS 640mb.

But the 4850 is pretty awesome for the price!

You also can be happy..=p

Later i can use ur card t CF?

Ppl who use hd4850 plus 3rd party cooler. Waste of money
might as well get hd4870 which is 20% faster + dual slot cooler which currently is running at 20-30 % fan speed once the new rbe is out u can flash ure bios at higher fan speed.

to each his own?

mind to share with us, how much this mod cost?

Maybe. But my power supply only has one PCIE power connector and I really don't want to change power supplies, so I had to stick with the 4850 and try to have some fun with it!

u can use molex converter la

I could? Damn!

Anyone want a 4850 with zalman cooler?

4850 w/o the cooler?

Does the 4850 give you significant improvement over the 8800gts?

For me, i have to fork out like 4870+a silverstone st56f PSU to provide enuf juice for 4870. Ppl have their own reason for going 4850+cooler.

Hehe..just kidding.

Significant improvement? Apart from benchmarks, I can't really say.

The 8800gts pretty much ran my games fine, and to be honest I could get along perfectly with that card now.

But I got the upgrade bug, and I found a buyer for my old card, so one thing led to another...




@Radeon:

The vf900 costs RM 159 @ All IT

wa lao it seems so many people have started buying 4850/70 eh? all thks 2 the main LYN supplier lehteck and zhen^wei!

agree with u
since 38series
cuz theay are all the same
xcept their clock speed
but if u can get 3rd part 2ND HAND
then its different

for me its a nono for 38/48 series
not worth it

arhh... my food for 2 months..!!


lol..
anyway, i suddenly poisoned again by S1 Accelero

can anyone here 'cure' it?

Guys,


Here's a fix for the 4850 temperature issues. I found it at: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=265745



Copied from the page:
______________________________________________________

if you make a profile in catalyst after turning on Overdrive( make sure clock and memory settings are correct). You can then go to the file "C:\Users\Bretware\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Bretware. XML. the xml file will have the same name as the catalyst profile you saved. right click and hit edit.

<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="65" />

Change the value to "manual" and Want value to "65"

Save the file then reload your profile in catalyst.

The problem with the 4850 is that the stock fan is locked at like 22% or something.

This mod seems to work for the guys on that thread. Looks good if you don't want to spend money on after market cooling mods.
