Err, there should not be any stock of the first batch left. Actually the first batch sold out sometime ago. Very easy to spot, if the heatpipe is nickel, then it is the 2nd batch.

Why don't want to get it from one of the LYN traders here? Selling at RM640 now I think,cheaper man. Anything wrong can go straight to NetRaid (their distro).

._. Wondering, why you guys buy the 4870GS and yet running under normal mode instead of the turbo mode?

dfcloud, CM690?

Well, get 550W and above would be safe. Though the system would only take about 270W or so on a minimal system. proc, mobo, ram, single hdd, cpu fan, dvd drive.. but yours so much extra.. so better to have the extra room .

No offence, but have you tried gaming with it? Crysis/Warhead or anything intensive. From the looks of that system of your sig, 400W might not be enough though. What GC were you using before this one?

Glad to hear that. I've a friend with 8800GT (or was it another model.. 8800 series for sure). Ran with a really lousy PSU, (yes I know about Enermax ) Crysis was able to play until the area in the beginning where you find aztech, it will definitely hang until he changed his PSU lol.

Just went to look at your PSU's spec, 30A on the 12v. That's sufficient for 4850, I think the specs ATi gave out was 30A on the 12v.

Cannot really see numbers, some 500W got really weak 12v rails, in that case also can't run 4870 properly. Best to see the 12v rail instead.

o.O? Memory reaching limit? IMO for 4870, the core is the one bottlenecking. Try to up the core instead of the memory. DDR5 at 1000 already provided a lot of bandwidth.

Yea =/ No problem also sell. Now... my PSU .

What I mean was, don't concentrate on the memory so much, instead on the core . Post up some vantage/3dmark06 score to see

Yeap, it will idle at lower speed to save power. When you game it will go back to the default clock speed.

serigala using WC setup. So can't really compare.

owikh84's 4870GS set at 750/1000. Kev, your 790/1000 lower score than owikh84's?

Err, as monitor to use windows = any card also can .

But if want to game at 1920x1080, this is tough for 4850GS frankly. Certain games yet, but most games probably need to lower detail already.

Well, to run nicely at 1920x1080 you will need at least a 4870, better still 4870x2.

And HD resolution means you can watch blu ray at 1080p .

I said at least . Oh wait you will need the 1GB version as well, more memory is going to give you better performance since 1920x1080 is pretty much considered high resolution already.

This one sounds like police interrogating the criminal

Ehh? 4670 bottlenecked by PSU? @@

...

4850GS also didn't get bottlenecked by E8400, what makes you think 4670 will? :-S

Hot room? @@

My GS does 40C without aircond . 37C or so with aircond. Wonder how some of the 4850GS can do 32C idling ._. must be hell of a freezing room

This one... Looks similiar to the Toxic and various other non ref 4850... Doesn't perform well le, those that is. This one I don't know. But the design concept is the same. Donut with heatpipe within.

I don't know if they are the same one or not. But the heatsink does look alike just the fatal1ty is nickel plated.

Compare the looks, looks the same to me. Just different color due to nickel plating.



I found this sometime ago, comparison between 3 4850 doing the furmark stress test. Toxic seems to be very hot lol.

LOL, the HSF not big enough I think... very small compared to gainward's or iceq4.
