ATI HD4800 Review Thread

[strange|ife]

Just got mine(Sapphire) today @ 4pm dropped like a brick on my doorstep(sure UPS guy hates me).

First Impression's are good, the card is not to long, the hSF is nice and plenty of heat pipe, very similar to the 8800GTS in length and cooler design that it replaces. Could not careless about the women on the card though, ohwell wont see her much anyway=]

at first boot up, of course idle was 79C Did XML fan settings, and made 2 profiles for now. low idle was 42C @74F room temp. Load is in pic with ATITOOL arti scan. Set fan speed to 50% which is damn loud..it was no joke when people said this fan is loud, i tried 100%..but reminded me of Tornando fans or delta..so went back down to 50% for oc settings.no thanks. Made other profile for 2D @ 25%, near silent..good stuff..my system is loud enough



ok back to beers tonite, no work tommrow and i want to play some COD4!

BTW enjoy Shay Laren on my desktop

google her, trust me you wont be disappointed!

will try bios and ATI oc tool tommow..so far honestly this card runs fast enough in cod4 even at stock..no need to push it on her first day.
