coolest?not sure bout that though but i think that would need to use 3rd party cooler like the ThermalRight Trad2..it depends on the casing, air flow and the ambient temp of the room..

manufacturer always claim their's r cooler ...

4850 does not have tv out (although it looks like 1) ...thats for the component out to use 1..if not mistaken the head is different.

even if can, the cable to long will result in delay in getting the video from the gpu/pc. so totally not recommended bro, +dmc4, looks damn good on tv although i would recommend using hdmi window output setting only need to change if using Vista if not mistaken.

it's not bad aa.i think immature drivers.. wait for the lastest ccc to be released then. and it also depends on ur game..Is ur game original?

lol, can guess already ..try and wait for the lastest ccc then...ccc 8.9 was released the same day as crysis warhead was released so i guess it's good to wait for the new driver to appear o.o/

wat u mean by that? if u nv install driver, how the heck r u gonna use the card

yeah, hdmi no problem..+ quality superb once and a while use pc connected to lcd for some movie or gaming

hmm, y don't use component out cable? quality should b better than s-video

ultra fast? go for 4870 then o_O...GDRR5

hmm, not really accurate..then 512bit is godlike?....not really though it depends on the gpu processor itself..these days those bit don't really matter much..

4870? 4850 is the best value card for now...

lol..4870 should last quite long imo...

no end debating on this leh..like that, u go buy a 4870x2 then

lower? 4670 then -.-...or not it's 4850 >_>"

hmm, that i not sure..but then it does not really harm the card much (unless u're experiencing restarts and etc, due to not enough power, that will surely sorta kill the card)

well for budget card that does not need external power, don't worry on it ~

hmm, actually everything looks better on DX 10..imo...Dx10=eye candy i guess..for some reason, Assassin Creed used to get lag in DX9 but when played in DX10..damn smooth

on high? not sure though but depends on wat resolution of coz

ccc 8.10 supports all ati gpu. just wait for the final release..those r beta drivers...
