thats pretty hot same with the asus top 4870 if this baby arrives here, i'll be the 1st one 2 get it n@0w

can u run finish furmark with 865/1080 for 60 seconds?

btw wats ur temperature?

I notice that we might get to play in the games but most of the time we can get to pass furmark and atitool artifact scanning.

Temperature never exceed 70*C. Never test furmark and for Atitool artifact scanning, will gimme lots of artifact but what does I care, I don't play that artifact and fur thing. As long I can play games smoother, that all matter...

Here my 3d Mark 06 run...Before I get 14k now 16k

According to W1zzard guide at techpowerup forum,

we can re-flash bad bios by using PCI display card (PCI card as display, but it still will target ur Radeon card to be flash)

On-board vga can do BIOS reflashing too if not mistaken.

yes, you are right

Should be available within this month

Anyone grabbing HD 4850X2?Price expected $350~450 USD

Don't know when will it be available in the market.

Its expected to release altogether with RV710 and RV730 cards..

Saw this dual slot MSI 4850 in NewEgg.com priced at $192.99. Regular 4850 priced at $184.99.

And you can find the review here:

Now wait for HIS IceQ4 edition and see how it perform before get my hand on a 4850.

from where you got this news? its about the price of a custom 4870...

Nice one wlteng...
PowerColor PCS and MSI look very much alike... Those 2 are my personal favourite

Hold on
I tell you this

Besides, AMD is considering to release Radeon HD4850 x2 GDDR3 and its price is 399-449$.
Radeon 4870 x2 delayed to August 12th and at the beginning all of them are reference design while the non-reference Radeon HD4850 x2 will launch market at the end of August or at the beginning of September.

AMD Confirms RV710, RV730 and 45nm Dates
- New GPUs for September and 45nm die for Q4 is what AMD has prepared for the second half of the year

It looks like Advanced Micro Devices is getting its RV710 and RV730 mainstream and low-end products on the market this September. The RV710 chip is said to feature Hybrid CrossFire capabilities. Although the company would not disclose too much info on the GPUs, they are believed to be AMD's response to Nvidia's recently launched GeForce 9500 GT and 9800 GT cards. Next month should be an interesting one at least in what concerns the mainstream market area.

The news about the two chips reaches us via the Bit-tech website, which also ventured some guesses on the new AMD products. While HD 3670 has 120 stream processors, the possibly named HD4670 could come with 240 or 320, and it may also be a rebranded HD 3850. Some suppositions can also be made on the fabrication process the company may choose for the product.

Earlier rumors said that the cards would come with 512MB or 1GB of graphics buffer memory. It seems that AMD sees this as a good marketing thing, since users may believe that greater numbers mean better performance, and that could determine them to buy some products over others. No interdictions have been set for partners as far as the features they add to the cards go, so all kinds of clock speeds, memory quantities or cooling solutions are expected to appear on the field.

When asked about the competition with Nehalem, AMD told Bit-tech that "[it] will have the leading multi-GPU platform at the time of launch thanks to Intel's X58 chipset supporting CrossFireX." The Santa Clara-based Nvidia also has an X58+NF200 SLI solution, so we should also expect it to come up with something.

AMD has stressed again the fact that its 45nm products will be available starting with the fourth quarter of 2008. The clock speeds are also expected to be fast ones. The actual products will speak for themselves, for sure. Also then, we will see what kind of difference they will make from the Phenom.

According to AMD, the cache has been highly increased on the new products. The performance of the memory controller is said to have been worked upon, and some other improvements and optimizations have been added as well, although it still goes on the current K10 architecture. However, the company refrained from giving specific details on the changes.
