Cool enough to fit a passive cooler?

Hell no.

WJA96 · 21 Jun 2008 at 02:32

Let's see. They do feel quite warm though ie. untouchable.

WJA96 · 21 Jun 2008 at 02:34

So what do you think of the performance? 20K 3DMark06 for £240 seems pretty good to me. And that's with the drivers off the CD in the box.

Will Accelero S1 fit one of these 4850s?

WJA96 · 21 Jun 2008 at 02:38

Yes, it's the standard ATI cooler, so it will fit. Might be a bit of a chocolate teapot though. I'm up for trying it though

eh? he's saying it's ok. you asked if it was too much "for your lowly 4800+". and the reply was "not at 2.9ghz.....".

waiting for 4870 to tide me over for 2 more years

StevenG · 21 Jun 2008 at 08:00

id like it if someone with 2 cards could run a 3dmark06 at max res with 4aa and 16af to get an idea of the performance at the higher res.

Ask people to bench you games instead of benchmarks... otherwise you won't get any indication of either VRAM limitation or microstuttering.

Sapphire makes most of the cards for all the other brands so should be as good as any other 4850 really.

FrostedNipple · 21 Jun 2008 at 10:45

is it worth £125 delivered?

martin9887 · 21 Jun 2008 at 10:55

I'd be Ok with a single 4850 in my 680i motherboard right guys? If I decided to replace my 8800GTX.

Azza · 21 Jun 2008 at 10:56

Yes.

martin9887 · 21 Jun 2008 at 10:57

Thanks Azza. I am tempted

.

Azza · 21 Jun 2008 at 10:59

Wasnt actually meant for you.

But yes to you aswell.

martin9887 · 21 Jun 2008 at 11:01

Ah sorry my mistake, thanks anyway.

Yer, just ordered it

It seems it would be stupid to spend £100 on an 8800gt when the 4850 is so much better, yet only £25 more. Can't wait for it all to turn up, waiting for my cpu, got my speakers, and now waiting for my gfx card

my pc should last me another 2 years now i reckon
