these games?or should i get the 4870 which maybe more future proof?and is there a huge difference in performance between the two? any advice will be appreciated thank you in advance The 4870 outperforms the 4850. The 4850 is cheaper. Your PSU (assuming...

older style ATX version 1.x PSU. That -5v rail gives it away. I don't believe it has enough +12V power for your system and the new 4850/4850 video card. From a personal experience, having actually had the card I'll say: stay away from the HD4870. The one...

4770 or 4850. which one is better? 4770 or 4850?. which one is better? 4770 or 4850? The HD4850 is better. +1^ HD 4850 is a better choice 4850 of course... I would say get the HD 5750 ^.^ In terms of performance: 4770 <4850, 4850 ~ 5750 If you are still...

cards these are the ones here pick dont give me higher cards like 4870 or others because i know there better..... Thank you and please give a clear explanation why I should buy that card Why would you even consider a 9800GT if you can get a 4850? The 4850 is...

does not support crossfire you will get the performance of a single 4890 (assuming it is your primary card) instead of a 4850+4850. It also alows crossfire to be much more forgiving as far as what can be mixed together, However, since the 4850 is so much...

as a reference should anyone need to know.. the 4850 and 4870 from Sapphire is 9 inchs long, 5 inchs high, and .5 inches wide. >.> Not sure if my case could fit that but I got the HIS which should fit. Do not waste your money on the 4850 because: 4850 = 9800GTX...

are 4850 variants that use non stock heatsinks, and they work a lot better than the stock fans, like the Palit Radeon 4850 Sonic. Sorry, but it is the 4850X2 that is noisey which only Sapphire produce. I was refering to that card, not a 4850. :) After the...

The only advantage a 4890 has over a 4850+4850 is single core optimizations and (generally) more RAM. You don't need the extra ram all that bad at that resolution. The second 4850 would be a better deal. That being said.. you shoudl have plenty of GPU poer...

for the help coozie7 how much amperes should i look for on the smps on12v rail for 4850 There are 4850 that runs at 46C idle in single card mode. The Asus TOP 4850 is one of those... but in crossfire they run at 60C idle >:/ ...

that (and other specs) with GPU-Z. WTF? I haven't seen any DDR2 4850s. Anyway you can crossfire a 4850 with any other 4850 regardless of the RAM speed. Crossfire is pretty flexible. Theoretically you could even crossfire a 4850 or 4830 with a 4890, but I don't...
