Vision Tek 4850 review

[jimmyz]

How many FPS do you need in the Crysis benchmark tool for the game to be playable?

It feels playable at high settings with 1680 x 1050 so the 35fps avg it turns in on that bench settings seem reasonable. it isn't smooth as butter but it is a far cry (pun intended) from the performance of my 3850 which had to drop to med. in fact the in game button for optimal settings choses high when clicked.

I ran the in game batch file and 19 X 12 results in this using the Xconfig file from a few posts up, very high settings. seems to me the bench app adds some overhead? the bench app showed no improvement where the ingame gpu test did.

I am not including it in the review but it does help for daily play, and image quality looks great.
