UT3 is gonna look absolutely sweet on those cards. Enjoy!

DS3 ? What motherboard chipset is that? (Thinking of your crossfire bandwidth).

What about when he's "going to bed" and she's still playing UT3?

C64 · 22 Jul 2008 at 16:46

Got mine in now using hotfix drivers it's okay but I hate ccc and all the crap sometimes it barely responds or even starts and hangs around in processes even though you exited etc it's all very buggy imo.

KnightStalker · 22 Jul 2008 at 16:56

Just got my saphire one today, and hot damn from an x1800xt to this is like something else, both you and your other half will love them

Yeah but how impressed is she going to be with the 4850? That should give some "quality" bed time

So she gets turned on by the upgrade or what are you saying? Sounds more or less like the perfect woman

Quick Update

Ok ok ok,. I know i said i'd post some results well what can i say

This card just laughs at evrything i thorw at it

I couldnt resist throwing it in and seeing what it would do stock, this card is amazing after an hour of COD4 with the stock cooler on it goes up to 84 deg C.

I will put the NEO on this weekend once ive got some stock temps and benchies done.

Only problem i have had is with GRID stuttering randomly and freezing

so im just downloading the latest patch for that.

What else can i say.?? oh yeah COD4 maxed out at 1600x1200 + res's all eye candy on and never below 80fps is just freekin B-E-A-U-tiful

50% Grid patch done now come on poxy dl :mad:

lmao

Must go try latest caty drivers too.

Seeya laters i've got a feeling this is going to be a very long night
