i'm on Gigabyte HD4850. i've completed Crysis:Warhead yesterday but during the course of the game, i have restarted my PC numerous times due to the screen freeze midway of the game. i've tried letting the PC cool down off for around 2-3 hours before gaming again but it still happens. even set fan speed to 95% with CCC & the temp of the 4850 dropped to around 60-65 celcius (while gaming it's around 78-79 celcius max). is there a problem with my 4850? played Crysis on 1680X1050 @ Enthusiast settings, AA 4X & VSYNC on.

PC specs as below :

Intel C2D E8400
Gigabyte EP43-DS3L
2 x 2GB Kingston DDR2 800Mhz
Gigabyte 4850 512MB DDR3
Silverstone ST50F 500W PSU

everything is fine with Bioshock @ all high settings. will try Assasin's Creed later today.

lol enthusiast setting with 4850.. Dont expect a mid range card like that can go enthusiast please. Summore at high reso. Try gamer setting and see. If it still persist, then i suspect is either driver prob or ur hardware got prob.

i've tried gamer setting too but it still persist. but most of the time i'm on enthusiast. driver & CCC been upgraded to latest dy. sweat.gif

can 4850 stand the AA @ 4x or 8x with VSYNC on while at gamer settings?

anyone had the problem with Assasin's Creed when the game just started with instructions teaching you how to play & the screen freezes? is it the game or my GC? i'm on HD4850.

guys, is there a huge performance difference between HD4870 512MB & 1GB? their price difference is around RM160.

it seems like from these reviews, only a slight FPS difference.

btw, i'm planning on gaming @ at least 1680x1050 on ultra-high settings. any opinions?

1680 * 1050 is 19" or 21" only la.
512 version is more den capable 2 handle dis resolution.

1gb version is pretty much for those who own 24" but dun wanna spend 2 much on 4870x2 or gtx280.

well, it doesn't harm 2 hav more memory, but wit 4k series, i really dun recommend it unless u really need.
coz those extra vram chip also generate heat.
may b will end up a little bit hotter PBC compared to 512 version.

i meant this:
1680x1050 is the native resolution for most 22" LCDs nowadays right? anything higher? 1920x1080?
btw teikwing, upgrading to HD4870 so soon? your current HD4850 is only 1 month old plus iianm? tongue.gif
*
even Full HD 22" max resolution is 1680x1050 right? or higher than that? blink.gif

getting one for a friend's new rig. havent source enough funds to get one for myself yet. doh.gif

nice................
dat is the model i'm going 2 buy next month.

mind telling me where u bought it & how much it cost?

btw, here's a review of 4870 1gb. http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/diamond_hd4870_1gb/

the performance isn't mind blowing as u think, only 2 ~ 3 fps.

remember dis, 4850 bottleneck is memory speed, dats y OC memory giv a lot performance gain.

4870 in the other hand, clock speed is bottleneck, it shud b close to 1ghz but AMD cant do dat coz too hot.
dis is y OC clock speed on 4870 yield much more performance gain den OC memory.
those extra 512 memory means much more bandwidth on the card.
but there is not much point owning a car dat can go 300kph if highways only allows 70kph.
*
planning to get it at Startec, retail @ RM699. smile.gif

so even i'll be using 4870 on 1920x1080 on games like Crysis, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, COD5, there won't be significant difference on 512MB with 1GB? on highest settings i would say.

i don't really have much knowledge on GC's stuffs. blush.gif

i'll wait till pc fair only buy.
last time pc fair benq girls was great............ tongue.gif

well, the review says it all.
2 - 3 fps gain doesn't justify the 1gb memory.
i'll stick wit 512 if u ask me.

btw, dun worry too much bout fps, if the game is running @ 24fps constant, u wont fell the lag unless it go bellow 24................. smile.gif
people, dun start 2 argue bout how many fps consider no lag, coz 24 is the ans.
