Probly want a 1gb version though to match your card.

if only they can ship here in the Philippines i will be glad to grab it by the balls..so far i can borrow a friends Toxic sapphire 4850 512mb and see how this improves..although significantly the scores will improve..i am the type of enthusiast which balances the nature between CPU and GPU performance..

1 more thing i will test and tweak this card to my purpose and delight..although i will share some to this thread..i don't lean towards your basis since i was able to score high using just this bare card and since we have different tweaks up our sleeves somehow..my tri-fire i think and i guess would be a bit better i am just looking for a 4850 i can buy here to get new scores and benchies..

@ kairi_zeroblade
I want to apologize for any misunderstanding of my comments posted earlier. It's a free world, well most of it is, and everyone is free to do whatever they want with their hardware. The comments I made on other benchmarks that can be used were only suggestions and not to you personally, but to all 4850x2 owners in general. They were not demands or requirements, just suggestions. I'm not racing anyone on hardware and/or scores and I'm not putting ppl down on how they bench their equipment. I'm just an enthusiast, looking for any and all info on our 4580x2, which includes benchmarks. They are only a handful of reviews on the net for this card and only a handful of owners on this forum. So kairi I hope we are cool and if anyone else was offended by the suggestions I made earlier, take this as an apology.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On that note, found something new to play with and also decided to compare how the 4850 single fairs in this bench:


FurMark aka "Furry Donut" -Open GL Benchmark- (Build 1.6.5)


1440x900, 0xAA
4850x1 = 105 average fps
4850x2 = 197 average fps (92 fps, 87.6% gain over x1)
4850x3 = 284 average fps (87 fps, 44.1% gain over x2)(overall 270% gain over single 4850)




1440x900, 8xAA
4850x1 = 22 average fps
4850x2 = 43 average fps (21 fps, 95.4% gain over x1)
4850x3 = 64 average fps (21 fps, 48.8% gain over x2)(overall 290% gain over single 4850)




1680x1050, 0xAA
4850x1 = 79 average fps
4850x2 = 152 average fps (73 fps, 92.4% gain over x1)
4850x3 = 219 average fps (67 fps, 44.0% gain over x2)(overall 277% gain over single 4850)




1680x1050, 8xAA
4850x1 = 18 average fps
4850x2 = 35 average fps (17 fps, 105% gain over x1)
4850x3 = 51 average fps (16 fps, 45.7% gain over x2)(overall 283% gain over single 4850)




In conclusion, crossfire rules! That's all I can say.

Got mine last week, fried my 500W topower, picked up a 650W Antec. Paired with 5800+ running at 3.2Ghz. I love it! It was loud originally, but I took the shroud off, and it dropped 2-3C and the noise drop was unbelievable. Temps not really a problem, since it runs between 35-55. I had one of the gpus up to 62 once, but the fans never go above 30% so I am assuming the temp is fine. FPS never drops under 40 on fallout 3 at 1920X1080 with ultra high detail. It is big, but eh, I don't care, I never see it anyway, as I drilled a hole in the wall and put it on the other side. I'll post any thing else I can think of when I get done reading the threadThis thread is for all Sapphire Radeon HD4850X2 owners to refer to for comparison in performance so the rules to this thread are very simple, be as thorough as possible and post the following things on your post.

jadawgis732, welcome to OCN and the 4850x2 owners thread. The info at the beginning of the thread are suggestions not really rules. Posting screenshoots of your system and benches are just helpfull to all. Congrats on those temps, only getting up to 62c on load. That is quite good. We await your screens if you wish to post them.

There is someone I'm racing but they are a relative of mine. Not anyone on here, futuremark or any other forum. And its just a name. I could have named my system "My Pursuit of Happiness" but that doesn't sound very cool. If I wanted to get high scores in 3dmark appz, I'm going the wrong way with my system. I have relatively low cpu poere and high gpu power, not a good balance to those appz. I could have opt'ed not to go tri-fire, take the money I spent on the single 4850 and a little more, buy myself a quad core cpu and post higher 3dmark score than I have now. If you have read most of my post on this thread, you will see I'm into crossfire scaling. This multi-gpu testing is fascinating to me.

Nice Gatroo, welcome. It is good to see more owners. The 4850x2 is an awesome card. Best pc part I've brought in a long time. Nice crysis average, you own that game at 40 fps. Post some pics if you can.

Sure you can join, Gatroo. All 4850x2 owners that post on the thread, so we know you exist, are in. I'm sure when Open1Your1Eyes0 comes on, he will add you and jadawgis732 to the owners list. And that is a nice crysis average. Is that pic ran at 1600x1200? What can you get on "very high" settings? rep+ for your pics

[Gatroo]

THX bro

it was in 1680x1050

and the very high is coming
