Great performance
- Pros: Very easy on the wallet (for the performance it gives), all games run smoothly, video+audio HDMI support, 1 slot solution, fast shipping with newegg.
- Cons: Drivers don't seem to be keeping up with the hardware itself, 1 slot solution=heat stays inside the box, I wouldn't expect much help from powercolor's website, not even the warranty is mentioned anywhere, but it was the cheapest 4850 and reviews suggest they're just as good as the competition so I went with it.
- Other Thoughts: This is a great card from what I can tell. I had the 8800gts 640mb and tested this on that system, and I did get an fps increase, but most games that stuttered with the 8800 ran smooth with this, regardless of fps. The 1 slot solution is both good and bad, I needed it because I'm using it in a microATX so I need the space, but the heat will stay inside the case unless you add a PCI exhause fan. The overheating problem can be easily fixed with the fanfix, went from 20% 60c to 45% 40c-45c idle temps without any significant noise increase. The driver for XP seems to work just fine, but on vista it seems a bit glitchy, the games did stutter from time to time, as if the frames couldn't keep up. I think overall this is the best card to get / dollar spent. Highly recommended.
Thanks ATI for finally becoming a competition for Nvidia, I was getting tired of seeing $500+ cards that are now selling for $200, talk about price gouging.
Great Card horrible Support
- Pros: Barebones ATI 4850 card. Performs well. Great price. Scaling with crossfire is great.
- Cons: Runs fairly hot. Hot enough for the Powercolor sticker on the cooler peeled off on it's own. Supprt on power color website was no existant. Support site only had the 3870. Instructions for crossfire was weak.
great card
- Pros: Wow, crysis, unbelievable. No hiccups on high settings. Looks like the characters on my screen can come out and slap ya.
- Cons: none. Fixed the temp prob by adjusting the fan. Sits idle at 45C and 60ish at full load.
- Other Thoughts: People having probs with no signal out of their dvi probably have their settings incompatible with their moniters. Adjust the settings or go under options and force detection. Quick fix. Google it, there's a work around, takes 5 mins tops.
