ALL 48xx queries and remarks here.

The false news has been circulating off late that AMD cards over heat and require massive amounts of power. In an effort to prove that wrong, I want the owners of these cards to post their complaints and experiences here.

actually in normal cases a dealer will get only bout 300~400 bucks for selling a sub 15k ocomputer peripheral, if the dealer is reliable and has good sale.
So at max it wud be 14.5k...after all its only bout 260~270$ abroad. So 19k seems totally insane.
and also, it MSI which is damn cheaper nowadays...other brands will be 1~1.5k more expensive. And MSI dn compromise on quality and support. Its just easily available here.
and itwares price list is very older. that 19k is the price when first it was launched and started to appear in Indian market.

4850 2GB GDDR3.

Check the review guys. The 2GB GDDR3 is of no use at all. Almost the same performance as the 512MB GDDR5 and in some games the 512MB version performs better than the 2GB version. Shows the power of GDDR5.

After reading this review, I'm feeling that memory is the ultimate bottleneck in the GTX280. Otherwise it had a good chance of beating ATi cards.

Ofcourse 2GB GDDR3 is no use at all on a HD4850. I think something between 512MB and 1GB would be ideal, since it has better performance than the 768MB 8800GTX.

And did you know that this 2GB version was actually clocked BELOW common 512MB cards ?

Even if 280GTX beats ATI cards, I doubt it would still be as VFM. Add DDR5 to it and its cost would scale to a new height. Even if they bring in a 55nm Die Shrink, it wouldn't manage to go below its current price. And this wouldn't perform sufficiently better than HD4870 to warrant the price.

Err... What do you mean? The 2GB version is GDDR3. So its obviously clocked below the GDDR5 512 MB version.

I mean, normal MSI HD4850 512MB GDDR3 GPU had a processor clock speed HIGHER than this "special" HD4850 2GB GDDR3. More memory, higher cost but lesser clock.

Oh.. I was actually comparing with the GDDR5 version from that review.

Its clear now that there is no point in buying the 2GB GDDR3 version. Maybe a 1GB GDDR5 card could give some boost in the performance.
