QUOTE(squall_12 @ Sep 5 2008, 11:56 AM) only 1 thing i dont like about gainward 4850gs is the vrm and memory chip is not cover with heatsink which force me to wasted money on heatsink lol other that than gainward 4850 is best bang for buck... bro from my test... there is no need for it.. it doesnt get that hot if ur case has good airflow |

QUOTE(lotiman2003 @ Sep 5 2008, 10:03 PM) Hehe... Another 4850GS owner from PG. The card looks great especially the 2 heat pipes. But I juz dont understand why need the 8pin since the 6pin can supply the card with 75watt and PCIe with another 75watt. Reference 4850 only needs 105watts to operate. There are still plenty of power to spare. Really clueless... the 8 pin gives extra ground point. an extra ground provides much smoother and more stable power delivery to the card. |

QUOTE(raist86 @ Sep 6 2008, 08:00 PM) guys, question. I installed the 4850GS and went through all the installation stuff. But one installation couldn't complete. It's the Microsoft UAA HD audio driver. The installation cannot proceed cos cannot find the location of the driver. I used the CD which came with the card and it couldn't find the driver there. Please help. bro u can download the ATi Driver .. no need to specific gainward. 8.8 is the latest. 8.7 is teh recomended one for the gianward Golden sample.Any way for me to download the driver directly? i can't find it on the net. Vista 32 Bit 8.8 http://downloads.guru3d.com/Catalyst-8.8-V...nload-2041.html Vista 32Bit 8.7 http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Catalyst-8...nload-1997.html XP 32Bit 8.7 http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Catalyst-8...nload-2000.html XP 32Bit 8.8 http://downloads.guru3d.com/Catalyst-8.8-X...nload-2039.html |

QUOTE(mikegainward08 @ Sep 7 2008, 01:26 PM) yup....running in game, the GPU core back to 700Mhz ! But, how to fix the "low power 3d" ? Is that my PSU supply not enough power ? I using coolermaster real power 450W (http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=uk&act=detail&tbcate=641&id=1075). Any suggestion ? Thx no worries about it.. its a power saving feature... dont worry... i keeps the gpu at less temperature... ur card is fine |

QUOTE(Hiiryu @ Sep 12 2008, 11:18 AM) Hi there, I've just bought the Gainward 4870 GS a few days back. The thiing is, I'm unable to play games with this card. The error" display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has succesfully recovered" keeps popping out whenever i try to play games. Sometimes the games would just hang and sometimes it gives me bsod. I've tried install/uninstalling drivers/ccc and it does not seem to work. My last option would be to reformat back and use Win Vista Ultimate 32 since currently i'm using the 64bit version. Anyone have any ideas for what I should do cause I would rather not format if i dont have too. are u using the 32 bit drivers. or the 64 bit drivers?Thanks for helping |
