ATI HD4800 Review Thread

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

i still think your betting your 300$ on a card thats got a high chance of dying within a few days. if you all knew anything about the issue you would know that quite a few cards on this forum have died without flashing any BIOS at all so i wouldn't be so quick to discount it as the sole reason. (this includes one of mine and 6 (4 his and 2 powercolor) others that i can specifically think of at this time tho there are more that i wont risk mentioning for fear of exageration,)

Jimmyz has said that other forums are reporting similar deaths.


so it comes down to this: do you want to buy a card that has a high chance of having a defect and even if it works your not gonna be able to OC it because the quimonda ram is holding you back? or do you want to wait, get a little price drop, and get a card you can work with? it seems pretty logical to me not to buy a 4870 until the problem has a fix or is fixed by AMD
