Guys MSI HD 4850 heat izzit better then others? Love the heatsink tho

well, imo..all the same ..but if for non reference card, the factory OC 4850GS is quite decent, and cooler..

lol..colourful hd4850ge oso same ma..idles at 500 and 1000

You dont like Gainward?

why dont wait for 4830??

Haha gainward ok la. Bout how's all the performace?Same de rite?

Check the clock speed, if it is the same then same. Else the higher one would have better performance.

hey guys sorry if this is repost:

for saphire user 4870 card
bios update and here is a guide for it..

hi all, which shop in LYP sells 4850 the cheapest.. any brand oso can..

lol..here ad got cheapest...colourful hd4850 ge at only rm530..check it out

Saw that thread before this.. just that.. it's colourful brand..

Would prefer HIS/Sapphire/MSI/Gigabyte/etc

colourful brand.. ok or not?

lol..i m using it...no prob at all...cheaper and better den stock hd4850..this is oced...factory oced

errr the clock speed is the mhz right??? and also the ddr5 for gc and ddr 3 got lot different in producing frame rates??

DDR5 is 2x faster den DDR3.

example:

800 Mhz DDR3 = 800 * 2 = 1600 (effective)
800 MHz DDR5 = 800 * 4 = 3200 (effective)

latest generation of ATI & nvidia card opted a very different solution for higher bandwidth.

nvidia still uses slower DDR3 but increase the bit to 384 & 512.

ATI card still uses 256 bit but opted fast DDR5 memory.

Added on October 11, 2008, 10:04 pmbtw...theres some drawback in ati, where dey dun perform that good in opengl compared to nvidia...opengl kinda laggy...played cs1.5 and cs1.6, and their framerate doesnt seemed that promising

Hi, may i know my vantec 450w true power PSU can support 4850? My hardware is just normal one, no power suckling hardware inside. Thanks
