XFX Radeon HD 4850

XFX ATi Radeon HD 4870 1GB, a great graphics card.

Advantages: Can run almost every game on highest settings, easy to overclock, very good memory speed.
Disadvantages: No PhsX so some games can't run properly or even at all sometimes, some old games dont work.

The XFX ATi Radeon HD 4870 1024MB GDDR5, is undoubtedly one of the best cards you can buy within it's price range (to name a few the Nvidia GTX 260, the Nvidia GTS 250 and the ATi 4850) it is able to play almost every modern game at highest settings at a playable speed. I say almost because because some games require Nvidia PhsX, and I say modern because some old games don't work on the graphics card, Quake III for example. Although Deus Ex Works, as do all of Valves games and Diablo II does, but it has graphical issues and can mess up the placement of your windows. Visuals Almost every game that I own I can run at highest settings with a flawless framerate, Crysis runs at about 20 FPS which is playable but not exactly flawless. It still looks absolutely amazing though and you completely forget the bad gameplay ...

Review of XFX Radeon HD 4870 XXX

Radeon HD 4850

Advantages: high performance
Disadvantages: dual slot solution

I wear sapphire Radeon HD 4850 does not have symptoms that are less satisfying just need a place more than one slot for the installation for the conditioner for graphics processors is greater than the factory recommendation. Viewed in terms of performance sapphire radeon HD 4850 does not disappoint because it has a high-end GPU AMD RV770 which has the stream processors to reach 800 units so that when used on large or resolution 1280 x 1024 pixels does not occur, which means the barriers to a game or graphics application. in terms of the assumption of power Sapphira Radeon HD 4850 has a 55 nm technology, so the assumption is relatively low power so that stability in the GPU performance of loading data and the GPU temperature is relatively stable ...

Review of Sapphire RADEON HD 4850

HD 4850 MADE ME SWITCH LOYALTY AT LONG LAST FROM NVIDIA TO ATI

Advantages: Solid performance for price, great display driver utility, multi-gpu capable, HD looks amazing
Disadvantages: Sometimes, display driver shows that core temp gets high, but hey I am constantly pushing the card

For as long as I can remember I have been an NVIDIA/GEFORCE customer. Many years ago I did try an ATI card but I was very disappointed with its performance, and that was when I decided to shut the door on ATI graphics. Since then, I had upgraded my graphics card to a Geforce 6800, 7800, 8600, and most recently the 8800 GT. Being an avid gaming enthusiast, I was very pleased with the 8800 GT and it was only by sheer bad luck (looking back it was a blessing in disguise) that I ended up upgrading to the ATI HD 4850. One stormy night I had a terrible power surge, and found my computer dead, with a fried psu, mobo, cpu, and graphics card. So I had to rebuild my computer, and started shopping around for a new card. Being a prudent and careful shopper, I did some research on new cards and found some benchmark tests that compared ...
