[WheelMan]

First look:

I'll start with the pictures: (click to see larger ones)


- All the boxes i recieved




- The 4850 box inside




- Front of the card




- Rear side of the card




- Gigabyte 4850 vs Gigabyte 3870 front




- Gigabyte 4850 vs Gigabyte 3870 back




- All of the cards




- On my bench-rigg, installing windows atm

As you can see, i have Gigabyte 4850, 3870 and 9800GX2.
The rigg this is supposed to be tested on - is a GB X48, E8500 and the "normal stuff". No hardcore cooling to start with, trying to locate some DICEpots

Very nice Wheelman, looking forward to comparisons

[Sagart]

Looks very nice, lots of power for the bucks with those.

Looks forward to benches with CF against the 9800GX2.

Cute cards. Looking forward to see some temperatures and overclocking results with stock cooling

Those are some nice looking cards. Guess I need to pick up the phone and track down some of these babies.

[WheelMan]

They are fairly easy to get hold of in norway actually. My "supplyer" got 30 of them, i think..

Must move to Norway, home of Gigabyte vid cards and tall hot women

[makaka]

Give us some benchmark , i can;t wait any more :-)

[WheelMan]

You can move in at my house.
/me sets up a bed at the side of my benching-station.

3Dmark / games on its way to the harddrive atm

[Mekar]

Is there any benches to come, compairing those cards? ATI has just released the 8.6 driver

[Slay0r]

Benches or it didn't happen !

[Baron]

Nice.

[WheelMan]

I'm sorry for the waiting - but i was just told that the NDA-date is not what i was told. I was told 17/6, but actually its 25/6. So, you guys just have to wait - and drool on the picz ^^

[Mekar]

[WheelMan]

Then the first post is updated a little bit!

[Leeghoofd]

Are we at 4Ghz Wheelman with the E8500 ? Looking a nice bang for the buck card

[WheelMan]

All tests are run all stock.

[WheelMan]

Am i the only one here having trouble with the 177.35 and 177.39 drivers + 9800GX2?

The .39 just fukkd it all up, lagging like a cow.
The .35 corrupts my windows when running Crysis at 2560x1600, High DX9

*sighs*

[.digital]

[fscussel]

I would like to see some overclocking results, is this the only gigabyte 4850 review on the net?
