HDMI image quality is the same as DVI quality.

if im not mistaken, the image is sharper , if compare DVI and VGA display input. but i don't think common people can spot the difference between dvi and vga..

Anyone can help me with this?
I am planning to get a HD4850 Golden Sample from Gainward but I need to clear some doubts before I buy it.

I am now using a stock PSU from Dell with power rating 305W max, powering T6300 Core2Duo 1.86Ghz proc with 2gb ram and 2 Hdds.
Currently using Nvidia 7300 LE and wanting to upgrade.

If I use HD4850 Golden sample, would my stock PSU able to handle the power consumption?

I did some research..

My E6300 1.86 + 4850 = 40fps.

My E6300 @ 2.7 + 4850 =65 fps.

Game tested = GRID

Processer does affect the GPU.

i not sure is true power o not, i using icute 450W/p4

Izzit possible to OC eventho im using GS ? XD

I tried the CCC, it can only OC by a bit... 790 and 1050... possible to get higher ?

Okay.. now 8.10 also gives me the same problem as 8.11. What the heck is going on? Looks like there's some sort of a bug in my system now that I find it hard to recover from.

@ DunkyKung, any luck to getting it work?

Got my Gainward 4850 GS from Cex yesterday!

39 degrees idle at night, 41 degrees during day time.

Average 53 degrees when playing RA3 on maximum graphics and 1280 X 1024 reso.

I am loving it 

PS: Casing is left open and lie down on the table due to the enormous size of the GC. Currently my proc heatsink is standing on top of the proc, not skrued on.

Hey guys can anyone update me on the top 10 graphic cards lately?

Er, nope...
And how do I do that? lol
Can gimme a step by step or redirect me to a how-to?

waiting next month lor...
sekali dng GTA4...(hopefully)....

lol ok a bit newbie.. and also didnt sleep for whole nite till now.. lol...
but i see gainward golden sample looks nice.. but i got see 1 gc forgot the brand got 2 small cooler fan on the gc.. quite nice colour and design

all i can say is for gainward

the hD4850 Gs is totaly value for money..
thats undeniable

netraid team has been doing their best on rma etc
but whether will this continue
with scanart taking over we dont know.
their commitment on gecube/gigabyte rma has been proven lacking and almost on a dont care basis..
will this happen after the brand becomes popular..
it very maybe.

i have dealt with many companies on rma and usuall i call directly to taiwan
the best is
1. Team - RMA 1-3 Days.. if u know how to talk to them properly
2. OCZ - RMA and even UPGRADE from US... within 1 week.
3. DFI - The FAE is just superb. RMA within 1-2 weeks depending on stock.
DFI doesnt keep many stocks.
4. Asus - Very Fast Rma and Very good support from the FAE.
5- Gainward - The number of bioses that i got from their FAE for previous gforce cards... really helpful.. had issues with the 939 socket last time.

Worst
1. Gaygay - on a few occasions on a few dq6's
they practically said it was ure fault for overclocking and we dont support clocking..
gaygay really a ram killer.
most mobo's dont burn my rams.. they degrade it but thas cause of high vdimm.. gaygay actually burned...
p35-DQ6.. two boards.. N680- DQ6 2 rmas.. both had to pay for the repair cost.and what was scanart involvement.. simply their reply was ure problem.
2. MSI.. the distro.. also same as Scanart. I complained to MSI taiwan so many times.. rmaing with them no problem but distro is a issue.. the distro was cant remember the name now.this happen a few times with the nforce 4 mobo and one 650 mobo lga775.
this is my experience.
oh yeah for silverstone..
better u deal direct with silverstone.
inter asia always seems to have man power shortage issue..same like edevices
so u get the approval etc and any repair cost u pay to inter-asia.. and with emails everything..
usually very fast rma..
