Hi all, 4850 Golden Sample reporting in.

Regarding this, I did a little test of my own using Furmark as the stressing tool. What I've noticed is, I can run Furmark all day without problem with MSAA turned off. But when I set MSAA to 8x, I will experience the screen blackout. I had to use the esc key to turn off Furmark before the screen coming back (my desktop only appear maybe for 1 second or so only during the blackout). Screen came back instantly when Furmark was turned off, and before I turned it off I manage to take a screenshot of my desktop.



Funny thing is the FPS went much higher than average during the blackout period. And the donut (or whatever that thing is) has jerks when running with 8x MSAA. Maybe this could help you guys in your investigation . My guess is this might be related to AA though. Doesn't look like a overheat issue either though.

goldfries with 10k PPD. those 9800GTs are doing 100% load daily! well anyway around half the points are coming from the 9800GT & 9800GT GS, that also underpowered by processor.

This is ATI one@+p

Kill Nvidia=p

only 1 thing i dont like about gainward 4850gs is the vrm and memory chip is not cover with heatsink which force me to wasted money on heatsink lol other that than gainward 4850 is best bang for buck...

ouhh yeah. morning blindness miss out the ATI.

Added on September 5, 2008, 11:21 am@crazy_rose, what's the name of the gainward models?

This post has been edited by desmond1310: Sep 5 2008, 11:21 AM

coolermaster alu heatsink which 1 pack contain 8pcs and i get this from forumer moderno...fast service

8 pieces enough to cover all? Is any heatsink touching the heatpipes?

well.
i demand gainward nvidia user thread.....

netraid,u know what to do...

i have no ideas wat the models names are.. i just found their pics on the gainward forums or sumthin

bro from my test... there is no need for it.. it doesnt get that hot if ur case has good airflow

how come my 4850GS didn't come with that model??

yeah true.. so far ive never seen my card tempreture go anywhere higher than 62-64 on load
while idle its like 43-48 or so for me thats cool enough i guess

Still it does help putting on some ramsinks right?
