Anyone with HD4870?????
Click to expand...

my personal view that only people with atleast 22" or 20" (1680x1050) [or planning to buy them in near future ] should go HD4870 ...cos at 19" i see that HD4850 blows away anything thrown on to it ....except CRYSIS ...still i can play it with all very high settings with 2x AA @ 1440x900 and get decent 34~38 fps .......and other games like oblivion IV,COH etc easily get high FPS ....off course with all settings high....

19" monitor is bottleneck to HD4850 ....

so to realize full potential of even a HD4850..... a 22" monitor is required .....otherwise its serious bottleneck to potential of HD4850..and its a decent overclocker too i was able to get 683 MHz@core +1080Mz for memory(i played games without overclock) ...didn't push it further...cos stock speeds are more than enough for the resolution i m going to play .... ...now my next buy will have to be atleast a 22" monitor if not 24" ....

so people going for HD4870 ...should keep that in mind ...cos after a point it doesn't matter (for FPS >60)....... if u are getting 90 FPS or 100FPS ...no one will be able to feel it while playing the game...

I am having a hpw1907. So I think HD4850 would be more then enough.

Does the packaging having the manufactured month on them..cannot remember..?
Click to expand...

yes the packaging of all most all the computer hardware (except RAM ..perhaps) have a white sticker which says when it was manufactured and imported it also says the price and importers address everything ,palit cards have july/august 2008 written on them. and that batch doesn't face any problem of running hot or noise ,due to latest BIOS.

There is already a thread running on the same topic - The Official ATI RV770 Discussion Thread which covers both HD4850 and HD4870. Its been a bit inactive recently though :(

Perhaps Shantanu could merge the two ?
