not really..my friend using CM extreme power 500w o.o..can power up his 4850 and so far no problem lor oo

update/change psu lor =/ worthy to me ...4850 owns XD..played DMC 4 on super high setting jz now

hmm, might consider getting another 4850 but then the Gainward is faster right? if cf with my current card the speed will b lowered down right?

well, u're using extreme power 500w...should b enough..but wat matters is actually the total +12v the psu has...it needs at least 30amp and above if i not mistaken..

buy a new psu (on standby ) jz in case it kaput

lol, too bad, i still don't have confident in modular psu

well,its not wrong promoting anyway = =.. ppl has the right to noe which brand is good or not.. + he's offering some help for some forumer and also some information on the upcoming ATI cards..Like he did mention earlier, opening a new thread wastes space (something like that..can't recall :/ ) but then not everyone will responds so wats the use?

Netraid Btw boss netraid, any ideas on y some 4850GS user are experiencing blank screen sometime?From this thread, it shows that quite a number of users having the same problem..could this due to that the card does not come with ram sinks? Thanks a lot for sharing information with us

it's not bios related ...+ netraid already mention, flashing the bios voids the warranty if the card happens to die. zhen wei also mention that not only gainward having the same problem =/

i'm not using gainward :/..but someone did mention the use of ramsink..

hahaha...Well, ask the distro then ..i wonder y did they use some beast picture instead of leng lui ...damn it, i don't mind having 1 of the chicks as a free gift along with the card XD..Btw 9991? seems not bad o_O...vantage somemore..i nv tried on mine yet..no time atm

eh, well..some owners of gainward having the problem..and also zhen wei..not sure wat brand he's using..btw jz in case the cards die, how to flash back ..flash blindly meh...eeh btw jz wondering, will ur stock cooler work on my card? wanna try something lol..

ok boss netraid ..although i'm not a owner of Gainward yet but considering of getting Gainward I guess it was good that i post the link here to boost the sales eh Well, good to hear that the blank screen r not brand specific or anything ..might b due to drivers

is it my fault for posting those link

not really...I'm still here

ok, part 2 of gainward's models ...this time featuring 4870GS cards Gainward 4870GS models

new sapphire card comes with custom fan already thats y it's idles much cooler
@krizalid88,
1.which ccc r u using? as i noe...it might b due to ccc 8.8 since some confirm
that it has lower idle power consumption.
2. u can flash but then u will void the warranty..wat if u gpu burned or anything? then u cannot rma already..
3. for the temperature, r u both using the same casing? different casing has different air flow thus 2 person will have different idle temp even though at same speed.
btw if u recently got a new 4850, it should b dual slot right

well,imo..no point ocing the gpu..
1.well,r both graphic cards have different manufacturing date..u got urs later or the same?
2. can but wat if ur gpu died suddenly well jz in case it dies only..
3. might b the air flow in the casing..u're using a better casing...maybe u friend has different hardwares inside?

hmm? wat resolution does ur 32 inch lcd supports? 1338x720 right if i not mistaken? any 48xx series will do..imo..unless ur lcd is full hd,4870 will b better but then, not all games support that resolution anyway..
