................................................................I recently ran 3d mark on my pc and got a score of 11463.....But when i browsed through some articles related 2 4850 in "toms hardware" and "overclockers club",i found dat, all radeon 4850's of asus,powercolor,msi scored more than 13400+............so this means mine s 3000 marks less,and will cause drop in performance............And contrary 2 dat i'm experiencing frame dips in......burnout paradise(at 1024*768,high,4x aa) and other games.................so could u please pour out ur solutions for dis problem

I ran sm2.0,cpu test and sm3.0 .......at 1024*768...no aa

Your CPU is bottlenecking your 4850. I'd recommend overclocking your CPU.

I would advice you get a quality PSU like a Corsair or seasonic before overclocking

Overclocking is done in the BIOS, not via software.

If you want help overclocking then create a new thread in the "Overclocking" section of this forum.

But like I said before, I recommend you get a quality PSU before overclocking.
