And this card is supposed to be next-gen? My "last-gen" g92 GTS scores better in synthetic benchmarks and games. Dont get me wrong i aint no nvidia fanboi but this is dissapointing.

seem like only 1 card running

2x 8800GT SLi @ 1680x1050 @ High settings @ DX9 = 28 fps (i think is only 1 card score)

Your GTS wasn't $200 :)

You can compare your GTS with the 4870 GDDR5, though :)

Does sound low, but I don't get why GPU-Z shows SLI enabled, so does control panel and everything else then :(.

Isn't 29 fps at 19x12 al high in crysis really good? am i missing something? the review posted by a magazine said the GTX 280 would run crysis at the same configs at 34 fps?

Review posted in the magazine is a load of crap, GTX 280 will be twice as fast as HD4850 at that res ( if not more )...

And i highly doubt that even the higher clocked and full of bandwith 4870 will score a lot better in games than a 4850. We have seen what a small jump it is from a 3850 to a 3870.
I really hoped i would switch this time back to the reds only too bad i wont. :(

your basing you opinion off of ATI's lower midrange card....even the 4870 will be a midrange card its going to be the 4870x2 thats going to be a high end card.

Im impressed anytime a new gen midrange card compares to a previous gen's performance card.

Yup, fxvideocards is relatively new on the gpu scene but very excellent deals in general from a reputable vendor. And they were cool enough to provide Jim with this 4850 review sample...

Why is the writing on the core upside down? lol...

TBH I think it looks pretty good, if this is really what the 4850 performs like then the 4870 and 4870X2's will definitely be better! :D

A good thread.... I supposed cat. overdrive is the only tools for OCing this card, at least for now?what about RBE, winflash, ATIflash? not work either? And does this card still has same shader clock as the core? thanx man

Thanks buddy :D. This thread has been great so far. I just wish there was some way to clock up the card higher. I know it has lots more to give but the ccc lockdown at 700 is stopping me cold. DMM shows a little less than 1.2v under 3D load so even with just 1.35 like the 3870's this little puppy would fly.

I am searching the far east for overclocking utilities, my mandarin is a little rusty.

If I don't find one soon I will post up the 700mhz oc scores I have.

Heya jimmy, get a chance to xfire 4850 with your 3870X2 this weekend?
Looks like 4870 will be very similar to 3870X2 performance?
cheers mate, nice thread :)
