Good work @mascaras, that was what we've expected:up:.
Sorry you test with 8.6 hotfix or 8.6 ?
They talk about stability gain, any change ?
And about temp, do you try to change Thermal Compound for Artic Silver 5 or Noctua ? Because it seams that there is to much on stock...
To make you're thread more completed you can go to make a look there : http://www.generation-3d.com/article...50,ar295-1.htm
They talk about architecture of the card if you don't sign an nda :p... & if you know a lil'bit french...
nope , the cards are not mine ! (today @ last day)
but yes , lots of ppl reporting that changing thermal Compound the temps are much better , also the Artic Accelero S1 seems to be very good with HD4850 !
i only had 4 days to test HD4850 (single & Crossfire) , i tried my best testing all the games i could !
But with the EVGA GTX280 i will have lots of days to test it , so i will Full review the card with lot of benchmarks and games (reviews section / card should arrive tomorow or tuesday)
i didnt posted the hd4850s in reviews section because is more a Testing Report than a Full review !
best regards
OK, you make a great job for 4 days & 3 different catalyst to try, great ;) !
Good luke for GTX 280
If you'll have time try to add your HD4850 test to have an idea (like if you sould allready think about it :p)

well,regarding to performance i've nothing to say unless it's the best bang for the buck actually,but i have a problem,my monitor is a HP2207h HDMI and have two connections...sub-d and HDMI, and using the hdmi dongle and plug a cable to my monitor shows a washed out image as if the brightness setting was to high,the blacks are dark grey and not only in movies...games and windows too,i've tried the sub-d and everything is ok,i've pluged the monitor by hdmi to my tv box and works well,meanwhile i opened a ticket at AMD to see waht they say about that,if anyone have a clue please just let me know.
kind regards,
What about ATItool.....wont that work as a overclocking app on the HD4850?
also....was curious... wil 2 of these (crossfired) fit in the Antec P182 casing?
