QUOTE(Siu_Keong @ Sep 19 2008, 04:06 PM) The PSU only show me the max power 300watt that combine 2 rails (+12vrail1 and +12vrail1), it din show me any max amp. So can my rig support 4850 or not? Thanks for help.  If the total combined wattage from 12V is 300watt then you need to divide it by 12. 300 / 12 = 25A.

If not mistaken, I read a review of the same card with different memory before. Most of the time will show minimal or almost no performance difference, but will have bigger difference at graphic intensive, like the Flight Simulator. Search around for the review, I lost the link already =/

Search around for the review, I lost the link already =/ I've read somewhere it mentioned that more memory caters for higher resolution as well. I'm not sure how true is this. Also what are the main differences between GS and non GS version ya? Is the difference in performance justifiable? Or the GS version mainly for better cooling? Thanks

Get the GS! No regrets! I think it was about 10% increase in performance? Not too sure about the figure, but the better cooling is definitely worth it.

The Custom has the 0.8ns memory? and 3phase PWM? The GS has these to enable it to OC better.
