Both my 4850 are working fine on both 8.x and 9.x version but not that accurate.

Later ur card died, hard to rma coz they might check your bios too. If the stock clock is touched, then no rma for you If got burn mark u can say card overheated

That is for starters to oc bro

erm.. im a newbie here.. so i want to ask, can i flash ASUS's 4850 firmware into my Gigabyte 4850 card ?

if ur gigabyte is ref card then i think can already

any reference bios can be used if u r using reference card.

what is meant by ref card ? mine has got zalman fan with it

Reference card means they follow the same exact pcb from ATI

Sample :-

this card temp is "superb", under air con room, idle is 78~80c... damn "cool"!!!! havent tried load btw

u shud change ur cooler...
most of 4850 in market now using non-stock cooler.

lol it isnt mine... friends one

then get ur frens to change it lor...
AC Twin Turbo wud suffice...

not really a hardcore gamer oso, keep the money better ler

if me, i'd change to hr03

@ibenq,just fan speed to 100%

i am at 100% fan speed all the time bro ... takkan i wan silent operation , u oso noe wat fans im using de

hr03+80mm fan, good ma , should be better than my current asses glaciator fansink

mount 120mm fan on ur HR03 bro... more cfm..

I think you can fit 92mm panaflo on HR03 i think

iBenQ... whats ur idle & load temp with HR-03 + 80mm fan? HR-03GT rite?

A 3dmark 06 result from me. Somehow I think my score not up to expectation.

So now, if I used only my ATI Overdrive tools to overclock and my card died, is it hard to rma also? How about using Rivatuner?
Do anybody know anything about this?

dun have yet, but not planning on changing soon, since my idle temp is below 40c now, 38~40c, load not even 60c

btw, anyone mind sharing their 4850 3dmark vantage score @ 750mhz core, 1050mhz mem??, mine not as high as expected, 8k on P, 5k on H... if i recall clearly, b4 i sent my card for rma, stock clock oso can get 6k+ @@, but my stock got me 5.5k T_T

Overdrive is still within the warranty, so its covered.

Rivatuner is useful to go beyond the oc limits in CCC, u can try if you want to go higher.
