I guess it would depend on the resolution.

ya i agree, i would still go with a single 4830....and like he mentioned, you can get another 4830 to x-fire that down the road

none. an oced 4770 will beat them. for a much better bargain.

but while it's still not release, do yourself a favor and buy the 4830 and easily oc it to a above a stock 4850.

edit: i heard that the his 4830 (non-iceq) doesn't oc well unlike powercolor and sapphire. too bad i can easily hit 700/1000 with mine. oh well

55-60C really isn't too bad. Were those your temperatures under load? Those things can hit 80C load without any real problems.
Definitely go for the 4830. One card means less noise and heat and CrossFire potential. You 16x/4x doesn't sound so great anyways (I think a PCI-E 1.1 at x4 would bottleneck).

I read the same thing on elitebastards or somewhere like that too.
EDIT: the above is supposed to be a quote...[/QUOTE]
The Powercooler has higher stock volts so it can OC higher. A bios flash can increase the voltage for the 4830 so don't worry about brand. Another thing to remember is that the Sapphire doesn't have memory heatsinks. I'm a little worried about OC-ing memory until I do something about that.

MY 4850 didn't max everything at 1280x1024 with my Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz. Audiosurf, Crysis, GRID (well, I couldn't enable 8xAA, only 4xAA would run above 30fps).

Does where underload. I only play age of conan, and when i play long enoung the maps would show white squares. it usualyh means the video card is too hot. its why it does it. and then when i play it too long, it just crashes. So i got fed up and went for a 4830. i was gonna do 4850 but 200.. i dont think i want to spend that much.. atm..

I can max out GRID and Audiosurf (both with full AA) with my rig at 1080p (around 30-50fps), and I get around 25-30fps with Crysis maxed (no AA) at 1680x1050.
Interesting...

If you're talking about your 4830, not possible.
