The expected price of the Powercolor PCS 4850 512 MB is about $180 , just a few bucks more expensive than the reference Radeon HD4850 !

Memory hadn't overclocked , maybe the problem is hynix based ram or poor mem cooling
I bought this card but temperature is not low , on idle 54c on full load reaches 80c even at %100 fan speed and fan speed is not quiet at %100 fan speed ! why is so hot :(
