Wah, then is worth to have a try. Anyway thanks pal and i believe u can receive ur new RMA babe soon la.

i see

is that so, not really good in this stuff

i see,well i read some post at other site.By the way, when playing heavy game does your Graphic Card make loud noise?
How about Gainward one(for those who own it )

Definitely getting it later than 15th October =/ Until then no hardcore gaming. My current PC can't play much games =/ 7300GT Now I realise the difference lol, didn't felt it when changing to the new comp. Slow -> fast never feel anything, fast -> slow omg big difference.

all reference card will noisy a bit..if the temp goes to high and then the fan will spin faster..but mine i set it at 45% and it's not that noticeable.

Totally agreed, I plugged back my old PC the whole experience is kinda sucks. I have to wait MS word/excel to load. Firefox also load so slow.
Now use new PC feel so smooth.

I think my case fans are louder than 4850GS @ 55% fan speed (Using those CM silent fans 12CM which are pretty much silent since they spin sooooo slowly).

mine 40% fan speed.noiseless fan speed.can let the pc on while sleeping beside

Hi guyz....
I would like to purchase a HD 4850 graphic card...however, when I search some information online, there are so many brands of HD 4850 like Palid, Power Color n etc....
they are diff in size, design, pricing, and core speed....
may i know wat is the diff between PALID HD 4850 & Others brands ????

Thank you

For reference board, all same but different manufacturer, different sticker on the cooler, and different warranty period. They are entirely the same card with same clock speed, and PCB board.

Differences only comes with the non reference ones, that you need to surf around and see which you like . But, Gainward 4850GS is a good performer in this category.

I have read through some article from "newegg" forum, it stated that some of the board us ready with manufacturer overclocked, will it be giving better performance and any probz ?

Yes, those are the non reference cards. Comes with better cooling, faster memory, better power management and those are stock factory fitted.

Better performance yes, read around for the reviews comparing the OC-ed versions vs reference. And for the problems part, should be no. (Though mine had problem ._. now back for RMA. I might be the few unlucky ones, but the new batch is superb compared to the batch I had.)

Thank you so much celciuz...
another question, what do you think about PALID HD 4850 ?

Palit 4850 Sonic clocking 685/2000 seems slow compared to a lot of other manufacturers out there. Closest in design would be the Gainward 4850 Golden Sample. If you notice, even the heatsink is the same just different cover. Gainward is partly owned by Palit, no surprise there.

The 4850GS is clocked at 700/2200 though Not saying the Palit is not good, but there are better clocked OC version around. Can't recall the clock for the HIS ICEQ4 4850 685/2200? Not sure this one is the Turbo-X or Turbo.

hahaha...
alot of technical term ler...read till i blur blur....
so if let say price is not a probz...which brand u recommend in range HD 4850 o

Simple, the fastest among all the non reference. Gainward 4850 Golden Sample @ 700/2200 factory clocked. Price wise is reasonable as well.

Thanks a lot Celciuz...
I will go look around by today...if got any further probz i will ask you again ya...hope that u wont think that i am disturbing as i really noob in graphic card...hehehe....
