Wow, an impressive card performance wise. Thanks for going back to the bar graphs Hilbert. No offence but the line graphs were freaking annoying to read.

Performance wise it's amazing (own one from saphire, it's the exact same card), just sad that some games plain don't work
Farcry two won't let me play at 1900x1200 have to go to 1200x1000 (whatever the exact number is) which is a no go on my bigass screen Fallout is fine (and amazing) with it and well good old Warcraft 3 still works fine XD and for stalker clear sky it does shell out all the FPS you want

I'm a proud switcher (from a 7900 GTX) to an HD 4850. I'm upgrading to the 4870 X2 (it's coming very very soon
 ).Any suggestions..? Like... crossfire this 4850 with the X2? Probably won't work since I'm running XP X64 SP2. |

Installed the X2, and it works very well
 I put the 4850 into my AMD rig... no space in the Antec 900 for the 4850

Nice review; but I'll never be buying ATI.
I missed a couple of topics/things in the review and it wasn't you fault Hilbert: - PhysX performance ( Havoc = Fail ) - GPGPU performance ( eg: MD5 Hash check speed ) A folding test might be cool; but thats all there is for ATI GPGPU wise, very sad state of affairs.... I did saw a paper promise though, something with windows 7, ahhh yes DX11; out in 2010 and before that only on VIsta ? -> epic Fail !. Oh yeah.... maybe NGOHQ hasn't finished the CUDA-ATI drivers because they bought and paid for by NV ? It sure is very quiet on that front. What a terrible waste: 1600 uProcessors only used for gaming... again: a very sad state of affairs. |

If you want more than that, go for the FireGL or Quadro cards. And give some proof that havok sucks. I know i enjoy Havok much in Oblivion and HL2 and all the other games. |

2) GPGPU is done on this card, ever heard of Folding@Home? Just because it doesn't use CUDA, doesn't mean it doesn't have GPGPU features 3) Nvidia PR department, is that you? |
