One question, Is Gainward just came in this year or already available since few years ago? Last year, I never saw it in Msia market b4. Only recently saw a few places got sell.

Install the latest CCC 8.10. There is a fan controller. You can just set the fan speed to whichever that suites your ears . It will be fixed though. What was your PCI-E frequency earlier? 100mhz is the standard and should work perfectly.

Hey dudes and dudettes.

This is my first time here and i gotta congratulate you on this nice comunity from what i`ve seen so far. I have a couple of questions and maybe you guys can help me out:

I recently purchased a Gainward HD 4850 (non-GS version with the black plastic) and i`m a bit confused as to how you should OC that thing cos i tried that using the CCC Overdrive option with Auto tune, and after it tested the frequencies and passed them, the next thing was to freeze my PC and show green vertical stripes on the screen. Is it because of the PSU? I have a Gigabyte Superb 460W. Or something else? I also mention that the black screen problem also arrised but only at the begining and only in Crysis. After searching for a few answers with Saint Google, i changed the PCIe frequency in the mobo BIOS and the problem was solved. I played Warhead for a whole day without anything crashing down all around me.

Another thing is, also in gpu-z the fan speed always shows 6% with 1 RPM, nomatter what the load. That can`t be right, so i was wondering if there is something to be done.

Allrighty then. That about covers it.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Cheers

hello guys,
i am planing to get myself ATi 4670 which brand do u think is the best?
and i have a question
1)I will be using a crt monitor, would there be any problem. Cause i heard that 4670 have prob with CRT monitor?
2)How good would this card perform on P4 3.0/2M/800

personally using ASUS EAH4670, no problem now although at first it caused BSOD (drivers issue, think happen with all the cards regardless of brand with Vista x64, now solved with Catalyst 8.10)
heard that Gainward is not bad either, and u can consider HIS HD4670 ICEQ Turbo as well (although the fan is said to be more audible)

1. using it with CRT is not an issue coz i am using CRT as well, no problem
2. depends on what u meant "how good", i wouldn't want this card to run Crysis but so far it runs max setting on C&C3, Counter-Strike Source, Age of Empires 3, Generals, and Battlefield Vietnam without problem

Thanks for your reply,well i dont like too much noise too

So there is MSI,ASUS,Gecube,Gigabyte,Gainward,Sapphire and HIS(did i miss any other brand out)

so among these brand which one does give the longest and the best warranty and price wise too. I can get Gainward 4670 for RM305 but it sure looked weird  i cant even see the fan or does it have a fan?

it has fan inside the cover, and it occupies 2 slots
ASUS' fan is silent, can't hear any noise at all and it has 3 years warranty
but i am not sure about others, but Gigabyte has 3 years warranty as well. the rest u can do some search for info

thanks bro,
tomorrow i will visit LYP to check the 4670 GC
by the way this GC would fit in Mid tower Casing right?
