Hey guys,

Not to berate or put down any brands but I think you all should really check if the PSU you are buying is really "TRUE POWER". Ask around, Google it and check reviews for the brand/model you have in mind.

PC without display due to insufficient power to the VGA is not so bad, the worse case is those with "barely" enough power that you get display but also all kinds of problems: lags, jagged lines, artifacts, flickers, blackouts and funny sounds (1 Gainward user here has this).

Having said this, beware of new brands like Huntkey. I'm not saying it's bad, although I myself heard many things on this brand from industry sources. I'm just saying do more asking.

All the best.

Thank you Celciuz for sharing.

Guys,

Take a look at Fudzilla latest review of Gainward HD4870 Golden Sample.

http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=c...=1&limitstart=0



BTW, for those waiting for the Gainward 4850 Golden Sample, the 2nd batch of stocks will be here next week. Get ready to rock!

Quite a few. See this screenshot: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+220

Coolice managed to reach core 780MHz and mem 1175MHz running steadily. Gainward Golden Sample are highly overclockable.




Also look at Reggie's Tech Review from the review links below.

GAINWARD 4870 GOLDEN SAMPLE OWNERS

1. Please switch to Turbo Mode only when your PC is OFF. Or restart your PC is your switch to Turbo Mode when your PC is on for you to get 775/1000MHz.

2. Pirated Windows XP Pro. Very few thought of this: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...1600&sec=nation

3. Unstable driver. Try using CCC 8.7 first. Play some games, don't use those benchmarking apps like Furmark. If games ok, then keep 8.7
Make sure correct driver for correct OS version. Also clean your folders and registry, try http://www.ccleaner.com/

4. Download and install Gainward EXPERTool™ 4.0 to control fan speed and temp instead of modifying CCC profiles. Easy to adjust and change on the go. Download here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/779908

Thank you everyone for choosing Gainward.

GAINWARD PREMIUMS - T-SHIRTS, CAPS, MOUSE PAD

Hey guys, we are talking to Gainward marketing to produce some Gainward T-Shirts, Caps and Mouse Pads for Gainward users here (both ATI and NVidia).

Since they insist on making it in Taiwan, it will be expensive to ship them here. Would you all be interested to pay a nominal fee (from RM5 to RM25) for these items?

Do let us know. Thanks.

For those asking for stickers, you may drop by our office (see website below) to collect it anytime. Just call Kelly 016-2264188 and bring along proof (receipt, CD driver, manual, box) that you are a Gainward user.

BTW, how come no response re the games? Nobody wants them?

PS. Do you all want me to ask Gainward to reproduce those Gainward models in 3R and 4R size photos for you guys?

Procedure for 1-to-1 exchange:

1. This exchange is only for users with black screen problem. Please be sure.

2. Come to our office (address below) to collect your new card. Call our Technical Dept 03-21488337 before you come. Mention 4850 GS black screen problem card exchange.

NETRAID SDN BHD (674948-U)
Suite 823, 8th Floor, Sun Complex, Jalan Bukit Bintang,

This post has been edited by NetRaid: Sep 27 2008, 09:52 AM

TO ALL GAINWARD 4850 GOLDEN SAMPLE & CUSTOM COVER USERS

NOT all 4850 have problems. Only FEW Gainward 4850 GS & CC cards from 15th August till 10th Sep 2008 batch. Please do not worry.

Gainward explained that it's not a faulty chip, but an unstable one, so not many will have this problem.

Just bring back your card to us for an exchange anytime between 11am to 6pm. Outstation users post it back to us.

So sorry for any inconvenience caused. We just want to be safe.

We would like to assure everyone that the latest batch (18th Sep onwards) comes will not have this problem.

YES, can. Please come anytime from 12pm to 4pm. But new batch of 4850 GS will only arrive on Mon or Tue. Shipment delayed.
Please come next Tue onwards.


FurMark is a software that really stress the GC till max, to simulate extreme load and high temp. So it's not an accurate test for GC under normal condition. Try using your card to play games for few hours and see if any blackouts.


Like we said, NOT all cards have problems, and that also not often. So it's really up to you whether you want to exchange it. If you decide yes, we will gladly change it for you with a new card. We just want to make sure you are happy.


One thing we noticed, blackouts happened more often in XP. Again like what we said, it's up to you. If you decide to change, we will do it for you.
As for your PC temp, remove the side panel and use an electric fan (or switch on aircon) to blow into it. Then play games for several hours and see if any more games hang. If no hanging, then you really need to add more cooling into your PC, or leave your PC side panel open.


Blackouts are caused by MANY reasons. We just want to be safe so we offer the exchange program with a new GC.

That means if your blackouts are caused by Gainward 4850 unstable chip, then it should not happen anymore. But there is NO guarantee blackouts won't happen due to other reasons (unstable/unclean OS, driver, signals, hot temp, bad/broken connectors etc).

Hope everyone understand this.


Nope. The next batch will arrived next Mon/Tue with improved chip for both 4850 Golden Sample and 4850 Custom Cover. Nothing to do with sticker on fan. Anyone who bought their Gainward 4850 Golden Sample and 4850 Custom Cover from Sep 18 onwards is OK.


We like to remind everyone that this exchange problem is ONLY for those with blackouts (whether due to our chip or other reasons - impossible to be 100% sure). Gainward will test the returned stock. So please be sure you do have blackouts before asking for exchange.

Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.

Gainward cards are available from:

Low Yat Plaza: PC Zone, ATE, Thunder Match, Wawasan

Digital Mall: My Computer System, Octavo, Wawasan IT

Penang: Pristine Wireless http://forum.lowyat.net/PristineWirelessTechnology

LYN resellers: Leh Teck, Moderno, Karom, Zhen Wei and CEX

We sold out of Gainward 4850 GS long time ago. From now on, you will definitely get the new batch no matter who or where you buy from.


Bonjour Monseiur Stephane,

All we know is NOT all 4850 have problems. Only FEW Gainward 4850 GS & CC cards from 15th August till 10th Sep 2008 batch. Presumably the batch in Europe is affected too. Please check with Gainward Europe. Visit http://www.gainward.de/support/support_uk_rma.html

There is no official release from Gainward because the qty affected is too few. Eg. we sold few hundreds here but so far only noticed less than 5-6 people really affected.


YES, all Gainward are manufactured in the same factory now. But we use different retail box for the mainland China market (colorful Chinese Opera face). Gainward is a top brand in Europe, esp. Germany.


We sold out of Gainward 4850 GS long time ago. From now on, you will definitely get the new batch no matter who or where you buy from.

Thanks for your kind words bro.


Ha ha... we try hard to please, but not that hard... Here are some eye candy for you man: http://en.expreview.com/2008/09/05/sex-sel...-lv-bu-hd-4870/

Seriously, you should just contact your local reseller/disty to arrange for return. We can only exchange for local customers here.


For exchange procedure, see middle of this thread: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+540

Just see if you have any blackouts when playing games (any type) or running applications. No need to stress test it with any special software.

Blackouts are caused by MANY reasons. We just want to be safe so we offer the exchange program with a new GC.

That means if your blackouts are caused by Gainward 4850 unstable chip, then it should not happen anymore. But there is NO guarantee blackouts won't happen due to other reasons (unstable/unclean OS, driver, signals, hot temp, bad/broken connectors etc).

We like to remind everyone that this exchange problem is ONLY for those with blackouts (whether due to our chip or other reasons - impossible to be 100% sure). Gainward will test the returned stock. So please be sure you do have blackouts before asking for exchange.

Below is an example of blackouts caused by OTHER reasons:

Darksteno, Celciuz, Minmin and Raymones89, please send your cards back for exchange just to be safe. No need to come to our office if you are not free. Just post it to us and we will send back the new card once we received yours.


Not that we are aware of. We are selling very well in Europe and other countries. Our Gainward 4670 have 4 ports: D-Sub (CRT), DVI, HDMI & Display Port. We will check with Gainward on this. Thanks for informing us.


Very clever decision. Most people just noticed Gainward 4850 performance without realising it's cooling and improved power management.


Hi Falvius,
Just keep playing games and using your PC like you normally do. No need to do anything special. See if you have blackouts during gaming or usage.

But take note that blackouts are caused by MANY reasons. Since you experience many black screens very fast, our opinion is that your card is affected. But it's just our view. Please contact your local distributor and Gainward Europe to verify your problem. Visit http://www.gainward.de/support/support_uk_rma.html


YES, looks ok. No need to try so hard to look for problems. Not all cards affected. Read above.

Thank you everyone for sharing and being patience and understanding.

This post has been edited by NetRaid: Sep 23 2008, 11:49 PM

Crysis should work with 4850. Pls try on other FPS games like COD4, Stalker, Bioshock etc. Is your copy "ahem" legit?

Jiraiya1863, Darksteno, Celciuz, Minmin and Raymones89, please send your cards back for exchange just to be safe. No need to come to our office if you are not free. Just post it to us and we will send back the new card once we received yours.

Refer to this: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+320
YES, past winners can win again, NO limit. Depending on your contributions to this club.
Just keep on contributing, sharing and helping others. Watch out for the names of all winners by 30-Sep-2008.


We dun sell games, we offer lots of goodies only for club members. Existing Gainward users (any models) can ask us for the games discounts vouchers to be redeemed in many stores that carry those hot games. Watch out for the official announcement here on the latest games we offer to Gainward club members.


We won't check, if you dropped in like Minmin today, we will exchange for you immediately, or if you post, we exchange it once we received your card. No waiting.
But Gainward will check those exchanged cards once we sent them back to Taiwan. So if some cards have no problems (no blackouts) after Gainward tested them, then it will look BAD on us for exchanging too many cards.

Yes, we rugi. But please don't worry bro, this is a precaution to ensure customers satisfaction. So we will bear all the expenses for this exchange program.

"Ahem" games by itself is not problematic, but sometimes contained incomplete data files, worms, viruses or malware. Be careful. Make sure your PC have good & updated anti-virus.


Aiyoh bro, just come exchange the card lar. New batch, improved chip. And collect your Free Digisound MP3 player. No need to test test so much...


Coolice managed to reach 780/2350. Show us a user who can beat that scores (with proper screenshot and GPU-Z validations) without any mod or using 3rd party cooler.

Congrats to Coolice for winning the MSI overclocking competition recently!!

We sold out our Gainward 4850 GS long time ago. Every Gainward 4850 GS on sale now is from the NEW batch with improved chip.




Hi Hahn87,

You just won a Free Digisound MP3 with Megabass earphone from us. Please PM us to collect your prize.

See here for details: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+320

This post has been edited by NetRaid: Sep 23 2008, 11:56 PM

Haha, well don't go assuming how we reward club members. Hahn87 is not rewarded for just posting pics of his rig. It's the WAY he present and share pics of his rig: the parts, components, PSU, casing etc. which we believe will help less experience users to customize their own rig, giving them ideas how to mix and match, and overall help them to build a decent gaming PC.

Dun presume too much bro, or this thread will end up with pics only.

Anyway, the 2nd batch reward program is still ongoing till 30-Sep-2008. So c'mon peeps, help make this club exciting.

Please read this: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+220 and this: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/783556/+320

We have these games in our office now. Quickly place your order!

Games for all Gainward ATI & NV users @ RM39 only:

More hot titles coming.

Just be reasonable, don't expect RM39 for new games. The discounts vouchers will be inside Gainward box (Nov 08 batch onwards). We will email the discount vouchers with serial numbers to existing users who want to buy these new games.

GAINWARD 4870 GS IS FINE

To all Gainward 4870 GS users, this card does NOT have any problems related to blackouts during gaming. So if you do encounter blackouts, it's probably due to other reasons (improperly installed drivers, games, OS, loose connectors etc).

Please try to use the latest CCC 8.9 for 4870 GS. Also, switch up to Turbo Mode only when your PC is OFF.


Gainward Crossfire Connector/Bridge

Crossfire connector or bridge at RM30 to all Gainward users only.

Hey bro,

I dun think it's due to heat, like the guys said: 76C to 90C till fine. Personally, I know overclockers who played till over 100C and still card didn't burn. But of course we don't recommend it lar for long term maintenance.

Normally if too hot, PC will hang, flicker, artifacts or lose display (blackout). But it will not power off. Suggest you use either 3DMark06 or Furmark and stress your GC then see is your rig power off. If not, then most probably it's due to your PSU not insufficient power.

Unless you are using Gainward Expertool under safe mode settings and your rig is hot internally. Then Expertool will auto-shutdown your PC when it gets too hot.

For nice coolers, take a look at Moderno PC superb choices: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/750189

Maybe sell off your reference and go for Gainward 4850 Golden Sample lor... See this: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/1607/16/g...card/index.html
