Nice scores, azianai! Right on par with the 4850 X2. Didn't know you could get twice the frame rate with DX9 in Crysis. Although there is probably a good bit of feature loss dropping down to DX9. Do you need SFIV game to do the bench?

I've tried a new motherboard and tested my cpu and ram and they're all ok. I've already rmaed this damn thing once. I just pulled WoW up artifacted into a blue screen.. is it this pos or is something else the problem? After this card I refuse to buy an ati product again as I've had nothing but issues.

That's bad luck there. I've had two of the 4850 X2 and haven't had any problems, except with my one used one. Small high heat issue but still works great. You may just have another bad card.

frankydee, I like your dark pic with the blue glow better. That was a sick pic.

Welcome to the club po-chi! Nice pic, always an impressive looking card. You are now add to the owners list. We await some benches.

wow, I didn't even realize there was an option for DX9. I guess I'll run it again. I'll do SF4 also! Ya know, I almost bought Crysis today. Maybe next week, I've been looking for a new game to occupy whatever little free time I have.

got my 2gb today, doesnt clock as high as my 1gb does but the more ram should make more of a difference then more speed

Sure can. I just didn't know it gives you almost double the frame rate. All this time, I though 5, maybe 7 more fps. You just have to right click on the game exe or shortcut and click DX9.

That's great news shroom. Compare your 1Gb to 2Gb scores if you can. I'm interested in how they stack up.

with mem 90 mhz lower made my score vantage score 500 points lower. no biggy. Im mentally at peice knowing i now have the ram to support the gaming i want to do.

[po-chi]

here are some of my benchies as promised!

Street Fighter IV w/ max settings:


3dmark vantage & 3dmark06

my 3dmark06 score is pretty low, especially the SM 2.0.. still troubleshooting to find out what is causing the problem. before, i had a 4850 scoring 16.5k and it suddenly dropped to 14.9k. now that i'm using a 4850x2, i still think that there's a problem.

ok here my humble rig

[Redbull1985]

I was thinking of going tri-fire...will it be a waste if i get a 1GB 4850/4870 to go with my 512MB/core 4850x2?

If i get 1GB card, will i have 2GB VRAM in total?
