Hello fellow ATi comrades...

Is it worth buying an ASUS Radeon HD 4850 with Glaciator cooler for RM 659??

Is the price appropriate???

i dun think the cooler is sux too.
if amd allow it to adjust speed automatically, it would be not bad.
a lot of users can keep it at an acceptable temperature by setting the fan speed manually.

If I get a 4850 with an aftermarket cooler, I guess I wouldn't need to adjust the temperature manually via the xml file since it's a reference board problem...am I right?

I finally got myself a 4850 with Glaciator cooler (abandoned the Nvidia camp)

Odd though, mine is the 512mb version...I thought the Asus 4850 with Glaciator cooler only came in 1GB flavour

Is it compulsory to put?? I thought the cooler will be enough to cool it down. NOT planning to overclock...

I got it for RM 625. Did a little bit of bargaining hehe. Soon I'll fire it up, first need to assemble all the parts first.

Crysis has many graphics anomalies in the Reckoning level (last level on the aircraft carrier)

I see black lines underneath other adjacent aircraft carriers....can anyone confirm this as an issue with the game or driver related???
