Vision Tek 4850 review

I'm wondering if my 8800GT will be pwned by the 4850....it probably will, but by how much will determine if i get one

Yes and no. it had less affect on the 4850 but see for yourself. I updated the second post to show the scores since I feel lots of people would be using lower cpu speeds and lower res.

[Kai Robinson]

Thanks for that Jimmy, but whats the framerate on the custom config WITHOUT any AA, and is there a big increase in framerates once you clock it back to 4Ghz, again with the same config?

I think i may have to invest in one of these....and then maybe another at some point

picture three unless i'm missing something. 36fps. with no aa custom config

[Kai Robinson]

Aaaah - gotcha, i see now

7fps improvement....how smoothly did it look...and more importantly, how GOOD did it look?

It´s not pretende 4850 vga card maestream?
These runs at 3240 Mhz on the cpu. including custom config runs.

A member ask me to post a comparison with his rig. so this is for Kai. But I figured the rest of you might like a lower cpu run or two. these also are at 1400 x 960 so that might be of use to some also. this represents a midrange rig a little better.?performance down

It looks good but it is scaling from my native 1920 x 1200. I went ahead and jumped back up to 4.8ghz and ran instead. slowed the ram just so I wouldn't have any probs.

doomwill, what do you mean it is not a mainstream card? I don't get your post. please explain better.

[dragonavenger]

Sorry dude, but Crysis is bugged by Driver on HD4850

My scores with HD3870 (@855) single and E6400 (STOCK):



VERSUS 4850:

[ExodusC]

This is looking more and more awesome.

I wish my motherboard supported SLI... So now I have to decide whether to go cheap and get a 4850, spend a litter more for a 4870 (probably the best choice), or wait for the 4870 X2.

[ORBR]

Jimmiz what's the difference with lightmark 2007 on Vista and on XP (it does a big difference)?
I know it does 399 FPS but.. which OS?

[Kai Robinson]

Wow, 41fps eh? Okay looks like one of these made my shopping list!

[doomwill]

I speak to vga 4850 can not be considered a mainstream card, with that low xcore in crysis, where is the problem?


In which segment it fits, near vga that can place it? Future drivers will have chance to improve?

[Kai Robinson]

Erm - hate to break it to you, but it IS a mainstream card, in the price point its aimed at, and it outperforms my 8800GT....

[y2kbos]

Will you do a few game benches @ 3.0ghz, nobody who buys a HD4850 will have a QX9650 @ 4.80ghz

Crysis benches are meh, I sold one of my 8800gtx's for €210 2 weeks ago and this card is not faster..

[Kai Robinson]

use the 3.24 Ghz as before, maybe? Most C2D's can do that at the very least!

Those results make it a bit faster than 8800gts, which are alot cheaper..

8800gts $146

That was xp pro, it does 270 on vista same clocks.

and Dragonavenger, I have different drivers, You have a card with GDDR4 and 225mhz more core clock, and you are showing a shot where I was using Kai's custom config file. the results are not comparable. that is why I used big type above the pics

[chri5g]

Nice, I think the GDDR5 would help a lot but I'm going for 2x 4850s myself.

Current setup does this, compare to 24FPS average for ONE 4850, while this is 8800GT 512 SLI:

no comment ,you have something wrong with OS
Single card 8800GT stock MSI OC

right picture is 4850 stock clocks


tuesday i`ll install Abit in9 32max plus 2x8800GT and i`m going show real score with SLI

What opnião its sincere that vga 4850? Segment which fits it?

[wiak]

nice benchmark, well i got mine 3870 last year, desember i think just in time for xmas ;P

[Th1x4nG]

woowee, i'm definitely throwing my 1950pro out for this

thanks for this awsome thread

[Kai Robinson]

Eh, this will likely be cheaper than an 8800GTS 512...which are still at least £60 more than the 8800GT's here (which are £120 at least ($240))

HD4850 wont be cheaper than £120/ €152 on launch imo, they will be nearer £130

I used to have the same problem with the benchmark, where it would just start the game with the dev mode thing on in the corner. To get it working I had to compleatly remove everything from Crysis and the benchmark off the HDD, then reinstall both the game and the benchmark. After that it worked.

I personally feel the benchmark is more of a worse case senario or something. At 1680x1050 all very high no AA, I can play the game with steady frames (over 22 90% of the time), and it only slows down when there are over 30 guys around me. Thats with a single Sapphire Toxic 3870 at stock clocks, and a E8400 at 3.8. The benchmark however, says 16fps with those settings.

Something wrong? Doubtful, it's a fresh clean install... I do have HQ 16x AF and MSAA transparency set in the control panel, maybe that affects it? If there's something wrong, what would you say it might be, rather than just "something wrong", not very helpful?
