Bradock Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Would two 4850 512 run better than the 260 or 4870? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Would two 4850 512 run better than the 260 or 4870? Be sure to lubricate them with pea... wait, wrong thread. Yeah, you would get more performance with two 4850's as apposed to a 260 to 4870. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieg1337 Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Would two 4850 512 run better than the 260 or 4870? Sure, but I wouldn't go with crossfire. Always go with the Single Best Video Card. As for the review, its nice. But I don't see why you would waste your money on this card, as you can almost get an HD4870 for 10 or 20$ more <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrow21 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 and then overclocked the 4870 out performs that For $20 more. See the logic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 For $20 more. See the logic? and then for 20 (to 30) dollars more you get a 260 that wins after overclocking HAHA. very nice loop sir. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee90 Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 It outperforms them by a lot.When overclocked, of course. But the other 4850s were not overclocked... i bet the Palit card would be neck-in-neck with this card when OC'd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows that this card was an absolute fail. Krow, when you were talking about overclocking, you never said it would beat an HD4870 overclocked <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedEuphoria Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I picked up an Asus TOP 4850 for cheap and it OC's similar to the matrix card, cost lots less and good bang for the buck. But just like the other it runs hot at 70C+ with the fan on 100%. I just installed an Accelero S1 rev 2 on it and now i can run it passively and temps are just a bit less. But with a fan the temps go down ~15c and i can overclock further since this top model had no heatsinks on the mosfets or memory.
