Wah so much stuffs in 1 shot? That 120mm XLF fan bright or not? Thinking of getting one, but scared too bright until at night want sleep also hard ._. (The front blue LED fan is irritating me already CM690 as well.)

Well, 4870GS heatsink really look great. The heatpipes... sweet, nickel plated to avoid oxidation. (or whatever that material is).

hahn87, play Crysis Warhead until the ice part where you meet up with Eagle Team. I started to get blackscreen there onwards. Earlier parts of the game no problem at all. Probably cause surrounding all ice stressing the GC? =/

What is wrong with that PSU? That is a Real Power Pro 750W, and is a true power PSU (900W peak).

Just get the the new ones from one the dealers here. They definitely have the newer batch which are fault free.

daTUK_SErI, managed to get it working on DX10. Though performance seems not so good compared to XP.

800mhz > 4870's stock mer . but sure bottlenecked by the memory even at 2400 though..

Want to make sure . Just finished Crysis Warhead And exams coming soon, seems like a good time to post my card over for RMA. The postage details same as the one you guys sent to me back then? Thanks for the gift in advance

If at 6% fan speed got 36-39C is very good reading. Or are you in a very cold room + a very good airflow casing?

My 4850 GS inside a CM690 closed case gives 38C or so at 55% fan speed. Aircond on as well.

Got, to change from Standard bios to OC bios. Different voltage settings gua...

I'm using EP43-DS3, dunno if the layout similiar or not. But my 4850GS will extend and block all the 4 clips on the bottom part. I'll need to remove the card if I were to add/remove ram.

I saw the layout, almost the same just that this has 6 banks. When all of the RAM slot locked nicely, the card won't touch anything.

Maybe can ask Netraid what's the 4850 consumption when loaded then can roughly estimate? Those 450W real power with the front panel one.. friend says it shows about 300W when running furmark which stresses the GPU to 99% or so.

EDIT : http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-48...x-performance/3

Found this, E8400, Asus P5E3 Deluxe and Radeon 4850 plus the other standard stuffs is about 269 watt on load. Not sure about 4850 since it is overclocked. Maybe Netraid can provide info here?

Excluding black outs when playing Crysis Warhead and GRID, it is alright. My 4850GS is the first batch arrived in Malaysia so it might be one of the unlucky faulty chips. Not yet RMA it yet.

Take note that my system is completely stock, wattage increases a lot when overclocking though.

Trying to arrange if got friends can take for me or not haha! Since I'm from Melaka and not KL area ma =/ But if really cannot arrange then going to courier it.

Bigger PSU gives you bragging rights if you don't actually use that much . "Hey I'm using 1200W PSU". LOL ._.

Dark Steno, update and see if you still face the same problem like your previous card or not yea.

New GPU-Z was released recently, works alright with CCC8.9 already. Reporting correct clock speed .

Err, can't remember... But I thought your previous one had problem? This is the new RMA-ed? Or was it just can't play Crysis?

Btw, your temp.. errk... seems pretty high. Nv set the default fan speed higher?

Actually if you can play COD4, you should be able to play Crysis. It is probably some software thingy problem. Make sure everything is updated to the max. I actually could not run Warhead in my Vista x64, but then after I updated everything properly it ran suddenly lol. Reverted back to XP SP3 since there's no use for me to use 64bit...

Peak memory usage was more than 4GB when playing Warhead, but in XP SP3 not even close to 3GB ._. 64bit enables me to use all 4gb... but in the end it still needs the virtual memory on the hdd.

If your COD4, GRID can't run at max speed at low resolution... something is really wrong . UNless you're talking about 1900x1200 then maybe 4850gs will have slight problem running at everything max though. But at lower it should be no sweat.

4870 GS affected? @@

Can quote the part out? I didn't notice. Was just looking at numbers lol

Oh bummer ._. I thought you said the test ended with the famous problem. But then again, that card looks like the new batch. Different CD printing, and with the G sticker on the fan.
