does the 4850 use 2, 6 pin power supply? if yes then i guess not enuf.

May i know which PSU u all pair with 4850? Usually how many w?

nop... it uses onli 1 6 pin power...
i'm using gigabyte's 1 now...
hehe...
it should b ok if u dun oc...
why dun u list down all ur hardware here??
btw, new 4850 user reporting in...
wanna ask 4850 user here, my temperature wen idling is 47 or 48... is it ok??

Im juz curious what VRM temps u 4870 peeps gotten there?..

I gotta say its the highest temps. among other temperture readings...

Like i play Crysis Warhead, i gotten like 95'c for VRM temp... ..

Cheers

should be ok. im using enermax 465w even OC CPU and GPU, very stable.

It's normal for me.
My Akasa Vortexx NEO is keeping the temp idling at 46C while 61C max when on load

well at that temp is nice and normal...shudnt be higher den dat

This is my list of hardware-
8450 phenomX3 2.1 Ghz procesor
mobo-gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H
2 x 1gig kingston 800mhz ram
WD 320gig hdd
Pioneer DVD drive
1 x CM 12 cm long life blue LED fan
1 x CM 12 cm xigmatek LED fan
1 x CM dual uv CCFL

550W should be enuf to power up to rig nicely.

get a st56f lo..sure nice for u

IMO that Vantec 450W true power is enough to power it up, for that configuration and running it stock la that is. If OC then different story.

yea..mayb oc will take up another 20% of the power?

That one not sure man, but if you OC a lot on that processor + GC. definitely going to use a lot more. But if only at stock, most use about 250W only.

im my 4870 use only 1 -6pin power supply can the card run without problem?

best way 2 OC 4870 is flash it to ASUS TOP bios. (815/925)

not only it is the fastest GPU clock OC available on the market, it consumes less power on idle & load compared to reference..............

btw, 4870 memory u dun need 2 OC much.
wit DDR5, it already has way enough bandwidth.

4850 bottlenecked by the memory, 4870 bottlenecked by the core lol. Guess that's DDR5 for you.

I don't know if this is related to GC or not, let's say I were to get a 1920x1080 24" LCD, and obviously 4850GS doesn't have enough power to run it at that native resolution. If I were to go to a lower resolution, can I set it so that the display remains at 1440x900 (eg) but with black edges at the side instead of it resizing to fill the entire screen? Is this GC or the display dependent?

it is display dependent, unless your display is capable of doing 1:1 pixel mapping, if not, the content would be stretched.

im pround ownner of sapphire hd4670... can play damn cool game with high resolution..1400X900

at first thinking about buying 3850 but becasue of power consumption.. turn to hd4670..

very satisfied with it..

are you replying my post?

I think he was not replying to ur post.
