OC TO 2.7GHZ


It's helps the FPS by 30%

If I get the HD4850GS which needs 8 pin PCI-E power connector when my PSU only has 6 pin ones, will the card run? Need some clarifications...

there is converter bundle along with the card

Anyone using E2140 with HD4870? Hehe want to know how's the perfomance so far. If no BIG troubles / bottleneck, might leave my E2140 stay in the case pair with this beast and hold the upgrade. Just put my E2140 like normal to 3.4GHz

Hunting this gainward GS too..hope good offer will knock my inbox door soon

Hi,

I would like to know, is there any other option to RMA? say,
I notice there is a ScanArt branch in Johor (Batu Pahat), which is just opposite of my house.
It would be nice if I can just exchange in the Johor (Batu Pahat) branch.

BTW, what is RMA?
For this case, I could get 1 to 1 exchange right?

Thanks

I wonder if my AMD 5200 will bottleneck or not. Can feel a mild lag in game.

Yup

Any suggestion?OC?

Yup OC.

1st make sure you card is plug in properly and tightly. Do you hear any beeping sound when from switch till you boot into windows? If yes, how many beep?

2nd, make sure you have COMPLETELY UNINSTALL the previous drivers. ATI drivers are hard to remove completely from the folders and registry. Try using http://www.ccleaner.com/ and Drive Sweeper to clean your PC. Once that is done, reinstall the driver again, perhaps CCC 8.10

3rd, as a control test, bring your card over to another friend's PC with similar specs (and enough power), plug it in and see if it works.

If all 3 failed, then bring it back to us for RMA (click on the Scanart link below).


No cooper heatpipes for Gainward 4870 GS, all nickel plated heatpipes. See these links for more info:
