Any comments on the card?

If you have the time, a benchmark and a review would be nice.

Like;
Which card-brand, which cooling, which clocks how mod-able, how does it work altogether, how does it work with your other components, etc.

@card:
Yea it's good, I am not an ATI fan anymore though (used to be; I would outline how over the average it is and actually sporting excellent features, but I learned that reality is different to theories).

A great card for the price, it's like the new 8800GT lol. BTW how much did you pay for it?

Its an ecellent card for the price, especially if you snatch one of the sub $100 ones you can see on newegg

129$+10$ for lifetime warranty. Now if you excuse me I have to go shit bricks from the last minute of crysis OMGZ.
I used to have a 8800GTS 320mb which by golly can still run most games at max. I just need the 4850 to run GTAIV ROFL. 129$ to run gta4=Win

86$ canadian + Tax + Shipping = 113$?
Where are you buying it?

Odd to hear you say that;
I was just remembering that ATI had severe issues with GTA 4 on release, refusing to run and being comparably much slower on those cards after they fixed that.

Not to mention how pathetic the game ran overall; Unmatched in that category I must say...

Shame GTA4 sucks balls =/

The 4850 is a great card, i was looking at one myself, i was looking at the xfx 4850 xxx edition.

BTW how big is this card do you know? i know it's quite big, but whats the measurements/what can you compare it too?

Blame nvidia too, my 9800GX2 ran like horse shit on GTA4, I got like 8-10 fps, and it wasn't even close to maxed out detail. After a few patches the performance got better, but it still wasn't that great.

I heard it's about 9.5 inches or so, it's smaller than the GTX 260, which is about 10.5 inches.

Anyway, as for the OP's comment request, I say turn the fan up. My brother has the same card and it idles a little over 50C, which I say is pretty hot compared to my Nvidia at 40C.
