ATI's 4800...
30.06.08 at 00:42:06

Haven't been on much since I'm dealing with a custody battle with my ex over my daughter but thought I'd pin this up....

Still a die hard 3DFX fan.... just don't have the money to get what I want for a collectors area as of yet so gratz on the members still around to keep it alive.

Any way, ATI's new 4800 series....

Thanks man. It's going, just taking a lot longer then I was hoping and costing way more then it ever needed to if I was dealing with a decent human being.

If I say much more then that, I'll have to put this is the Twilight Zone area as I have some choice words for what she's doing (even made up some new ones Tongue

).

Really appreciate it though.

Reply #5 - 18.08.08 at 19:54:11 If I was still Gaming anything, the 4850 would be my first choice as well (despite them having troubles fixing PowerPlay on the series and getting a Win2000 Driver is impossible - I'd have to mod the XP Driver myself)

one thing about 4850
dont buy 4850 with reference cooler, it likes to overheat. Idle temp is already @ 63C and and load temp is about 85C
when playing Crysis @DX10 mode for while I can see graphics errors(lots of little dots).
Well it wont over heat if you manually turn fan speed up, but it is freakin loud. 40% of maximum speed is definitely the MAX.
I have these settings
fanspeed 25% @ Idle, 35-40% @ gaming
btw. the cooler has a warning sticker about the heat (it burns your finger if you touch copper parts Shocked

)
Good card though, I'll recommend to buy Club3D's model of 4850, it doesn't have the reference cooler
