If same then it must be hot.

icic...sure it is not so sexy like hd4850..haha

Sexy??? Who's sexy????

sexy in term of?
hmm... i dun think 4850 is very hot actually...
it is hot when the fan speed is set at a very low speed but with a higher speed, it would solve the problem.

Hmm, on the reference card, I've seen temps going above 80C at 100% fan speed on the Sapphire 4850. Pretty hot IMO when compared to those non ref coolers. + damn noisy.

my bad, sorry for my ignorant.

Yep, mine goes all the way to 89C(HIS HD4850) when on full load with 100% fan speed.

Is there any 1GB version of IceQ4 4850? What brand have 1GB version of 4850?

for iceq 4 dunno got or not. Gigabyte has the 1gb 4850

not much point.
4850 1gb is 4 those who wanna ply games on high resolution wit <= medium setting.

I'm still using 17" monitor which is good since I no need to buy higher end GPU to play games at high res. A 512MB 4850 is good enough

512 enough.

1gb u'll notice little performance gain. but more significant in higher resolution.

by the time you play higher res, the gc itself cannot handle well already >.< but if 4870 then different story.

4850 i think best until 22inch la.. dunno also. Becos tried crysis above 1680x1050 all cpu bottleneck i think, all same score lolz.

Wah pal just see ur sig, wonder is it u face any problem to pair with Acbel Intelligent Power 430W? Since have the 4850 and OC ur processor also.

4850x2 when coming arrr?

4850x2 is still on hold, until further notice. The previous expected release date was end of September

lol...4850x2 oso releasing...i tink nvidia got a secret weapon hiding waiting to launch..haha

Wrong, please check the technical info from AMD-ATI websites.

well, he is not wrong...u're the 1 wrong ...most card struggling at reso above 1680x1050 for crysis.
