Overclocking section.
First off let me say the card runs hot. the default fan speeds are very low. while this is fine at stock settings for the overclocking I used a 80mm fan covering the fan hole on the card, only because there is no utility to increase the fan in software, and I don't feel like modding the wiring any more. temperature fluctuates badly at idle, some times 60c sometimes 70c.
There is still no utilities for overclocking except for catalyst control center which tops out at 700 on the core. it allows up to 1200 on the memory but the highest I could push so far (un-modded) is 1133 wich seems to be fully stable.
W1zzard worked very hard to get GPU-Z updated to include detection of 4850 GPU's. and I am Glad to say it seems to work fine.
I had no idea there was so much effort that goes into developing these utilities. He deserves all of our thanks for the hard work he puts in to his utilities.
