i change my graphics card about every 2 generations, from geforce 5 to 7, and lastly to ati 4 series.
i dun think by just a generation ahead, you would be able to notice significant differences.

proud owner of colourful hd4850 ge...wel..i chg from hd3870 to hd4850...quite large significant performance gained...wat matters is the market price..for example, u bought it at rm800 last time and u willing to sell below 400? den topup for hd4850? well...i bought mine at rm5XX den sold it 4XX and topup for HD4850..so in my case i guess worth it..

agree ... still using geforce 7 now haha

so in figure, how many % improvement??
i bought mine @RM545...

I still wonder why they din use GDDR4 for HD4850 ...

hi all.. wanna ask. is there big gap when using intel n amd while gaming with 4850gs(already bought)
planning to buy amd x2 6000. but dunno if lose out too much against intel.

using 6000+ x2 now ... plan to change to e8400 soon ...

y? frame rate too low? btw u use 4850gs? how many fps while playing assasin creed all max

Hmm..in my opinion..its just a bout the same.Because when i see Benchmark from review,the diff around 1-5 FPS only.Plus they using high end processor..

seanlimys, performance gain in what aspect, frame rate?

@AMDAthlon

how many frame rate can u get while playing assasin creed max at 1280x1024

Just for sharing since found the review about HIS 4670 Turbo in techPowerUp. It's test with a lot recent game, include crysis as well. Do not whether is accurate or good review, but just read for reference.

HIS HD 4670 IceQ Turbo 512 MB

nop , i am using geforce 7300Le hahahah! , but wanna get 4870 already... yea.. still wondering.. when gaming and any expect.. e8400 own alot? i wanna use 4.0mhz as comparison

sell 2 me your x2 6000 la..

cheap2

no money for Ti45

well..i bought mine at 539..beat u...haha...erm...i can sense bout 30-40% lar...


yea...in terms of frame rate and colour...seriously...nice gaming card...no feeling of wanting back nvidia...9800gtx+ no fight man..haha..sorry nvidia fans..

Hey, it's more 3DMark 06-ish too!

If this was RV770, it would "have the performance of a 8800GT". Maybe they leaked their old estimates.

Obsolete. I think it's pretty nifty, but ATI thinks otherwise. Probably because of the cost- at that GDDR4 cost, you'd be better off using GDDR5 anyway.

Plus, the main reason the 3870 was hard to price-drop was the GDDR4 component. Newer "custom" 3870s used GDDR3 with minimal performance hit. For the 4800s it's different, but GDDR4 no longer seems to be a priority for both vendors (and memory chipmakers) anymore.

You can see it as a transitionary step to GDDR5, IIRC quite some of the specs are same (different from GDDR3)
