Solution T T the last resort Feb 26, 2010 ok. my monitor is at 1920x1080. I am testing with Furmark 1.8. The MSAA is at 4x, and ran for 30s. OCd: 875 pts. Stock:777 pts. so, i guess a 12.6% improvement. (875-777) = 98, and then 98/777 = 12.6 when the MSAA was increased to 8x, scores were identical. Max temps after those 30s was about 40C.

T the last resort Distinguished Apr 13, 2008 592 0 19,010 Feb 26, 2010 #7 well, if you buy an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 and attach a 120mm fan you can overclock pretty dang far. My 4850 is sitting at 700 core, 1133 mem. Max temps dont exceed 47C. Linky: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186016 also very quiet. Upvote 0 Downvote
