Loving My 4850 X2 2GB :)

Hey everyone,
Just thought I use up a bit of free time to tell you about the 4850 X2; it's excellent. Runs all of my games on full [I've only just got into PC gaming, so I haven't got any of the big titles yet] and it runs very cool and quiet. Vista rates it at 5.9 :) My processor is the only component below 5.7 :P

All in all it's excellent; the Catalyst software is ace, and I've got my monitors set up just the way I want. Very pleased :)

Has anyone else got the same card as me? I'd love to hear some other opinions.

Cheers, Chris.
 
I only just got mine, so I don't know. I'll install 3DMark when I get home and see how it gets on. I've read that the 4870 equivalent is a lot louder, and you do get a 5 monitor outputs with the 4850 X2. And loads of CDs, the game demos are awesome. A suite of DVD players and burners [can't remember the brand :P]

If mine runs what I throw at it, which I'm sure it will after a bit of overclocking, then I'll be happy with it. Let me know how you get on with yours. Cheers, Chris.
 
Easy fellas! :P

I'll have a go at 3DMark when I get back from work, and post my score on here. I'm overclocking it a bit on CCC, I OC'd it full for a bit but I started getting little glitches during game play, so I went a bit more sensible. In the reviews I read the 4850 and 4870 X2's are pretty close in the benchmark tests, and the 4850 actually did better in some. And I do love the 4 DVI ports, however silly it may seem:P 4 Plasma's here we go!

Cheers, Chris.
 
Hey guys,
I just did a performance test on 3DMark Vantage, with it set to performance, and this is what I got. My CPU is currently at stock clock.

3DMark Score: P36323
GPU Score: 7536
CPU Score: 4265

Is it just me who thinks these scores are very low? I am using a cheap motherboard, it's the last component I need to upgrade to finish my system to a reasonable level. What do you guys reckon? Cheers, Chris.
