QUOTE(tech3910 @ Oct 25 2008, 07:15 PM) my bios is flash to ASUS TOP. so default already 815/925 anyway, overclocking 4870 GPU pays more den OC memory coz 4870 already hav blazing fast ddr5, just the GPU clock bottleneck. u can try ATI tools, Ati Tray Tools or edit the bios using RBE. i do suggest people 2 use the ASUS TOP bios since it is OC @ 812/925 & @ the same time cooler & uses less power. wana mod bios i x berani la,riva tuner doesnt support ATI?

i noticed that in this thread most of the forummers here own 4850/4870, 4670/4650/4550 users are quite ... rare here ...  anyway, just to put an update, managed to run Stalker Clear Sky at max setting (default is high) smoothly, but do not know about the later stages coz i test run at the beginning of the game only (on HD4670) This post has been edited by cyew86: Oct 26 2008, 01:06 AM

Yeah, I must say that changing from 4850 to 4870 giving me a huge improvement in terms of gaming especially on high resolution, considering DDR3 vs DDR5. I hv no idea whether waiting for 5000 Series is worthy or not until it is launched.
