This is very good info! Thanks alot lolhalol!

4850 require 6 pin or 8 pin power connector?

normal version is 6 pin but the 4850Gs needs 8 pin connector. but they will give the converter.

Woots, proud owner of Gainward 4870 GS. Just got it yesterday night from a forumer. Rig almost done, just left 3 more parts (mobo, psu, proc) to gao dim the whole thing.

PS: This monster is really huge, I wonder it can fit inside my casing or not =="

Did you overclock it?

Going for Intel or AMD proc?

Alright. I juz build my new rig. The 4850GS is very quiet.

Reverting back to 8.7 looks refreshing. Only one blackout encountered so far.

How's your temps?

You could get cooler temps if you manually adjust the fan speed. Set it at 50/55%. May just satisfy you more

may i know all brand of 48 series have this "black screen" problem?

does anyone know what causing it ? low profile psu? or ?

btw pls use the gainward expertool to set ur fan speed. and also remember to plug in 8pin instead of 6 pin. its beter for ur card...

Definitely Intel

how come I'm not experiencing those blackouts ..maybe someone can lend me a 4850GS to test o.o?

on gainward website : 4850 GS (700+/1100+)

why do they state the core and memory as so(with plus sign, +)?

is the actual core and memory differs for different batches of Golden Sample cards?

or they mean maybe higher than that but minimum is core 700 and memory 1100?

Haven't check the temp yet. Will try later.

nah, i didnt experience too, just scare it will happen somehow someday...so better ask ask what cause that problem, how to solve etc...
