since now CCC 8.10already hav fan control, u really dun need expert tool anymore....................

2nd batch should be silver plated?

Alright, CCC shows 500Mhz idle. So it's GPU-Z false clock

Wow, that's pretty good temp for 4850GS.

Yeah, silver nickel plated is the 2nd batch.

may b better overclocking perhaps?....................

Hope so. Ur 4870 is what ram chip? Samsung/Hynix/Qimonda?

not sure....................i think shud b Hynix.
its covered wit heatsink............... cannot check.

why my 4870gs like that 1 ... i put full load on ps2 emulator temp also 50... no play game also 50... error izit?... and my whole case start to warm now... i scare it bomb. -.-

Nickel plated, if silver plated = expensive lol!

Anyways, 4870GS different batch uses different memory chip? I thought all using Qimonda for the 4870?

It's the nature of fan settings in bios.
The fan speed will only increase when the temp exceeds 60C.
So don't worry ur temp is good.

@owikh84 ur program look nice haha , i playing games... i playing ps2 game with emulator as in i set 99% gpu and 30 % cpu only... then grid for 4 hours all max... also same ... and my whole casing start to hot ... left side is ok got 8 cm fan there... my psu area there... hot sia... and it spread around e casing...

You guys using what Ps2 emulator? VGS?

Nope.. heard only few games are actually fully playable in PS2. VGS for PS2 meh?

the popular 1 would be PCSX2
but seems like no longer progressing lately

yes , sorry for off topic ... pcsx2 quite nice though... but still cnt play god of war... dn know how to set ..

mine - samsung 0.8ns ram as stated on the box..
if the earliest batch suffers from the artifacts.. should be the ram problem..
check also the oc slide not pre-push exceed 1150 (2300)
should reduce a bit maybe..

any news from gainward with 4850X2? or they wait palit to do the first design?



OT : better play ps2 games on ps2..rather than ps2 emulator (tested myself, and i found it sucks..)

I think i got the 2nd batch. But the game hang or BSOD will happen to me once in a blue moon. I'm now wondering, may it be my PSU having problem? Mine is vantec 450w. Last time, my 3870 also suffer this kinda prob. so weird. Now running atitool to check for artifact, no error for 1 hour already.

They have to wait for palit to do the first design what, since its the parent company


@celciuz
No, not all uses Qimonda, some of the cards use Samsung and hynix as well

the problem that 1st batch have is blackout issue.

when you gaming at long period, your game will suddenly goes blackout,

and for XP, VPU recover will bring back you to the desktop

but for Vista, reset button is the only choice
