Frankly, if you're going to get a 4850 GS or a higher powered card. Stay away from Huntkey V-Power 550W. It will make pitch noise according to the FPS. Very very irritating. I tried with a Silverstone ST50F and there's no noise at all.
This Huntkey V-Power is definately not true power. 550W is the peak. I can't find the review for it... but the 80% efficieny is only at 200w or so if I'm not mistaken and it drops down to 70% at max.

Thank you Celciuz for sharing.

Also wondering, is Gainward bringing in the 4850x2 to Malaysia? http://www.warepin.com/hd-4850x2-outperforms-gtx280/ |

QUOTE Since power to the card is only delivered via the PCI-Express interconnect, the power circuitry isn't particularly extravagant. There are just two chokes and four PWMs powering the GPU and a single choke with two PWMs powering the DDR3 memory; yes, that's DDR3 memory and not GDDR3 – AMD said that the former proved to be more cost-effective than the latter and it looks like we could be seeing this combination a lot more in the future on low-cost boards if my interpretation of the discussions I had with AMD are correct. Source bit-tech.netMy question is does Gainward use DDR3 or GDDR3 for the 4000 series ATI and their 9000 series NVIDIA graphic card? I have check Gainward website and they only stated either DDR3 for most of the card and DDR5 for the 4870 card. Hopefully NetRaid can answer this question. |

Guys, question here. Can i drop in another 4850 and run it on CF with my DFI P965-S motherboard? It has 2 pci-e slot, but one is 16x and the other is 8x. Will the 8x bottleneck the other card? my specs are as follow: acbel 500W C2D E6600 @ 3.4ghz 4gb DDR2 2x 250GB HDD 2 DVD-RW I think i need to upgrade my psu first before i can drop in the 2nd card rite? Guess i'll just wait till price for 4850 drops.  |

Blackscreen problem, is it because of the VPU crashing and then reset by the driver so the screen comes back on?

^ Nop... Normal 4850 with Golden Sample fan. I guess my first unit was a faulty one, so its hardware problem, not driver causing blackscreen.

Upgrading PSU is for sure Bottleneck you wouldn't need to worry much 8x is fair enough. http://en.expreview.com/2008/07/14/amd-tal...gh-for-hd-4800/This post has been edited by TerryZeroX: Sep 15 2008, 12:33 AM |
