Great ATI Radeon 4800 Deals from OcUK on both Graphics Cards & Coolers/Heatsinks!!!

Very nice very nice.

Would one of these fit my good old 2900XT? and if so do you need ram sinks aswell or does the vortex cool the lot?

Thanks :)

The Vortex lists compatibility on the back of the box for it. :)

Don't have any 2900 series left anymore even in b-grade.

Can't confirm it in stone though as I like to try things for myself, but Akasa seem to think it will work.
 
I was hoping to see a real gainward card, you know the ones with the fancy custom coolers, higher clock speeds, and Golden Sample slapped across the front. Saves me having to get a 3rd party cooler.

Not in the same league as woman (WRT trouble:p) but never the less, they have failed to deliver expected quality and performance:

"Conclusion
The 3008WFP-HC is a great and very practical screen but don’t expect high performances. It has poor factory presettings, is subject to latency, input lag, shimmering in movies and it consumes too much energy. If only the inside had gotten as much attention as the exterior!

There are indeed problems. For this reason, we are a bit frustrated and had the impression of not getting our money’s worth. In the end, Dell ambitious price isn’t on par with the actual qualities of its monitor."

oh and build quality aint all that:

Input lag of around 50ms and can be cumlative upto 110 ms :eek:

I guess this screen has its place, for graphics design/ photo shop enthusiasts (increased colour gamut and desktop space), but not what I was hoping for in terms of overall performance and responsiveness nor indeed quality.

Unless all of these issues are resolved in the new improved screen you are thinking of selling then I would classify them as "troublesome" wouldn't you ?

About 12 screws off the 4870 cooler, then fit the new one is just 4 screws on the Vortexx.



It is!

I have one, used one on a high end rig, Gibbo has one (yet to fit, he needs to do it tonight!) and a fair few of our technical department either have them or are considering the purchase for their crossfire setups.

You would not guess that we rate them would you, halved the idle temperature on the 4870 that I did and the load never went above the stock idle. The card was fully driver clocked in the ATI driver. :)

So did you just pop it on vanilla or go for the vga sinks as well?

Hi there

Backlight bleed issues on the DELL 30" were vastly improved on newer revisions and OcUK's stock is the latest A02 revision! :)






Also as promised both DELL 24" and 30" models on special offers at very low prices on this week only. :)
 
is the Akasa AK-VC03-BLUV Vortexx NEO VGA Cooler better than the 2900 stock cooler?

also if i upgrade to a 48x0 in the future would that cooler be better than the stock cooler?
 
One question after i found i need more bits for the S1 cooler and the cost of those with the fans aint far of the price of this, if i buy the vortex neo will it fit no problem too the 4850 as am sure i reading you had to modify it abit
