If I get you correctly, then yes. Its oc'ed at stock. I don't have the specs in mind, but its above an average 4850.

I have it, also based on a recommendation of a TPU member. And I love it!

 

[DOM]

where you going to get it from any links ? to look at them

or whats the price on both would help

i know the iceq would have a better cooler

 

[spetre]

2 of this almost same price...now i live in malaysia...i can go suppermarket n get this..^^ His 4850 Ice q turbo also hav oc ?? right ??

I'd also check out the Gigabyte GV-R485OC-1GH. 1Gb of memory and oc'd to 700Mhz too.

Gainward idles @ 33° (30% fan usage), load isnt much higher, it never went above 50°

how about HIS ICEQ 4 4850???i hav see benchmark also ok...2 of this also hav oc...is gainward more fastest??

IceQ4 is a better choice for me. Does the gainward even have an exhaust cooler. My IceQ4s do 700/1200 easily.

whats the vantage score differences between these two excellent cards?

did you use rivatuner to overclock and at stock voltages??

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

did you use rivatuner to overclock and at stock voltages??

I used CCC Overdrive to overclock the cards. Voltage is stock but I modified the BIOS to have the cards idle @ 300Mhz in 2D operation.

thats badass man


dang what program do you use to flash your bios?
for some reason RBE isnt working for me... on my visiontek ati 4850 -_- my voltages are really bad lol 1.158 i think and running on 550W

i should really use a usb drive to flash my bios but i just dont know how

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I used ATIWinflash to flash the cards. I worked well but it can really screw up you hardware if you make mistakes.

The Gainward 4850 Golden Sample for sure. Higher binned gpu, better card.

I couldn't even find one for sale. Can you?

I wanted to compare the prices.

 

[erocker]

European markets only.

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

hmm I guess it's irrelevant then since the OPs in Malaysia.

Wouldnt a higher binned 4850 just be a 4870 with DDR3. Since they share the exact same GPU just lower clock speeds.

 

[Jeffredo]

European markets only.

Which means if you can't get it, go for the HIS. Get an IceQ 4 model clocked at 685 Mhz and for all intents and purposes you have the same performance, decent cooling and low decibels as the Gainward. And probably for less money.

 

[spetre]

but at malaysia...this 2 of product almost same price...mean gonna take gainward gs or his ice q???

 

[MRCL]

If both cards are almost equal, go for the cheaper one, if you do not hunt after each MHz or degree.
