Hi, I'm going to buy ATI HD4850. For budget I have to buy HIS.

But there is two versions of it:

1. HD4850 512MB GDDR3 256Bit (Stock Fan) - (158 $)
2. HD4850 IceQ 4 Turbo GDDR3 512MB 256Bit - (179 $)

I think Turbo versions Overclocked version, am I right? But for extra FPS, Is going with IceQ 4 version will be good against normal version. Of course 21$ worth for it??

What country are you in? For that money you could get a 512Mb HD4870 on Newegg.
In my opinion, the IceQ is worth the money: It cools better than stock and exhausts its heat out of the case.

Yes. I have one. It is very quiet, and as coozie said, exhausts its heat.

Newegg don't ship tehere.
Thanks for opinions. My last question is this, HD4850 is a good card for gaming?? while playing in games: newest medium detail, oldest like RTW high detail, can this card handle my requests?? (Resulation always 1024x768)

The HD4850 should have no problems with even demanding games like Crysis at that resoloution, providing your CPU is up to the task.

My cpu Intel E8400 and 4 GB Ocz Platinium Rams. What about future games? Can I play it as well??

Reply to Nthing

Your resolution will make future games child's play for a 4850. It's almost a waste of money at that low of a resolution.

at that low of a resolution i dont even know if there's a point in buying a 4850 because the games will be so much more cpu-bound. a 4670 might be a better option

Why do you play at such an unbelievably low resolution?

Get off his back about the resolution.

A 4850 will probably play at the highest settings at that resolution. Hell, with your CPU you might want to consider going to a higher resolution, but that's your own choice.

Low resolution saying why because of I have no obsession such as playing games in high resolution. But certainly I want to play them in high resolution. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

My main purpose I don't want to change my video card in the near future.
Because I don't have enough opportunites for change video card
within last two years. (Until 2011 ect.)
