HD4850 Vs. 9800GTX w/AA, review inside .

Ouch. I didn't realise 641 was just a 3% OC.

Pretty good overclock ,I thought you were an ati man.
When i put my 8800gts in I'll send you my gpu z stats.

I can overclock the 4850 to 690,but will system will shut down.Needs a lot better cooler!!

 

[btarunr]

Like I said, the reference ATI cooler just about keeps the card operational, with a 9% overall OC at the most. W1zzard was able to take it to 9%. But yes, when the likes of GeCube, HIS, come up with their double-slot coolers and non-reference PCB's, you can expect better OC's. Add to that, any HD3800 series compatible water-block / cooler should work for a HD4850, but it's also that since it's the same core as HD4870, it might not OC well with the initial BIOS. Remember how the initial BIOS of HD3850 didn't allow you to take the core beyond 730MHz?

we'll have to wait for 25th for the 4870 to show, i seriously hope its better than gtx260 so Nv would not put such ridiculous high price..

My g92 is getting a bit old by the looks of things ........

Only hope someone near Manc has them in stock so I can go get mine after work, lol.

you know you might be able to pull a fast one on amazon or ebay and manage to sell it for 250$ u.s. and then be able to pick up a 9800gtx+ for a few dollar profit. gotta remmeber amazon and ebay are slow catching up to the market and the price drop was just announced.
