vyroburn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ya I have read all that stuff, It seems like there are tons of problems people are experiencing with the 4850. Sigh, I hate this card now. Anyone wanna buy it ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zertz Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Weird.. I've never had any problems with my 4850. Have you tried disabling addons and/or deleting the WT.F folder? Edited January 29, 2009 by Zertz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vyroburn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Well I took it out put the 6800gs back in and no lag issues, and better frames. instantly. I guess that's what I get for trying ATI again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vyroburn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Ya I def got everything related to ati off this Vista install, there apparently are just issues with these cards and world of warcraft, there is like a 50 page thread on people experiencing the same issues. So ya I would like to dump the card if possible, It seemed to work great in every other game other than WoW, I am sure its some code in the game or some part of the driver that doesn't agree with some aspect of the game. Shrug if I know. Tell your friend, I will sell it for 100 USD shipped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame that one game can ruin you having to get rid of a great video card, just don't be one of those people that doesn't buy ati/amd because of a certain developer's mistake. I will think less of you. I respect that you want the best performance but the blame must be directed in the proper direction.

vyroburn Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I have always used AMD CPU's with great success. But every ATI card I have "tried", I always have problems with them. It may be the code in WoW, it may be the ATI drivers but seeing as thou I play WoW almost exclusively the card does me zero good at 30 frames, 15 in heavily populated areas. It runs far cry like a dream thou. I really loved my old 9700pro thou =P Well I may try the new drivers I may not. I will prob just buy a 8800gt and call it a day.

Kingfisher Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Not trying to be an ., Ok maybe I am but is it a good idea to spend a day bashing a piece of hardware and then trying to sell it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
