Just a couple of final thoughts before I repackage these cards and hopefully return them in a few days. I could not maintain a stable system with the current 8.6 drivers with most games. I'm not sure if it's the drivers or just the fact that these 4850s just run so damn hot. I won't repeat my previous posts, but I'm not impressed with these cards. That's just my opinion and I hope others have better luck. I know that most reviews have been positive, so I'm not sure what's going on with my rig. My X64 Vista is fully updated and my rig was rock solid with my G92 GTS. Also, I used driver cleaner before I installed the 4850s. I would recommend that you guys make sure that you purchase from vendors that have a flexible return policy. I'm not happy with the heat generated by these things and the drivers seem unstable in my rig.

Good luck to others who venture down the 4850 path.....
