Looks like they have included hotfix for HD4850 and HD4870 to increase stability and performance.

Guys, anyone noticed performance increase after 8.9?

Thats a bug in GPUz i suppose. Update it to a new version if it has released. Many ppl have had this. But not all.

Did you check temperatures, overclocking stability etc?
Click to expand...

just installed catalyst 8.9 on vista ultimate 64bit

idle temp is same as before(49 deg~50 deg)...i feel overclocking stability is better as i have only done overclocking with auto tune(allows max core speed of 675 MHz only) i could get 665 MHz core and 1038MHz memory at the temp (@ full load )of 65 deg ~67deg

Crysis rips through at that overclock speed ..could easily get 40~43 fps avg @1280x1024 high details and no AA .

and i m playing Crysis in 64-bit mode on my PC,obviously dx10 mode since vista !

installing assassin's creed now will tell the result soon!

An obvious typo...i think the more likely combo would be 14341
Click to expand...


not a typo cos he has mentioned the same score twice before when i asked ...i asked him twice to make this sure

and even getting 14341 is not a joke out of HD4850 ..only a quad core and a overclocked HD4850 can give u that score.

i think he used an older version of 3dmark :p

thats possible but only with 3dmark 2001SE ..it will perhaps give u a result like that :confused:

These prices are in dollers. In India these must be a bit higher. Save something but buy HD4850 this would be the best VFM.

I turned on AMD Fusion in Vista

Then did Vista performance index scan.

rating increased from 3.8 to 4.1 but alas, firewall, spamware, antivirus were turned off along with lot of services.

Good only when are gaming while off the network.

in previous page, i mentioned that i wud get a asus hd4850, costs ~ $200.
then in some reviews saw that it needs a good PSU, so, thats the reason i'm settling down for 9800gt (9800gt also needs a good PSU:p), as its cheaper & i can get a PSU+RAM too.

but missing out on hd4850 is kinda...:(
