does anybody know the performance of this card?

i cant seem to find any benches and moreover the card is not listed on palit's website


i am thinking of getting this card as it seems a cheaper version of 4870.

edit: found the card through google but still no benches

GDDR5 and core clocks are the main things that set the 4850 and 4870 apart (they both have 800 stream processors).

So basically Palit gave a 4850 GDDR5 memory, aftermarket cooling and increase the core clock and are selling it cheaper? I'd say go for it!
sweeeeet, go for it ;}
Should be interesting. May bring the 4850 within 5% of the 4870.
will my corsair vx450 be enough for this card?

the card requires 2 x 6 pin connectors while the vx450 only has 1.

the card also comes with a 4 pin molex to 6 pin connector.

so will connecting the card to 1x6 pin connector and 1x4pin(molex) to 6 pin connector be harmful to the card?

That power supply will be more then enough for the card, and yes you can use the 4-pin molex to 6-pin without problems.

This is an odd card. It's like a 4860.
