redtigerdragon 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? yeah but to be fair they were only bashing it towards WoW, so those of us who don't play would like it.

vyroburn Posted January 29, 2009 ya man, its not the hardware. and its not just me, there are like . tons of people having the same problems with the card. Like it said it plays all the other games that have far higher requirements just fine. It just doesn't work with wow on my system, it may work on a different mobo / cpu / memory set up. But something in the system or programming, or combination of hardware is not working in wow. Should be a good deal for someone who wants a 4850 I mean the thing looks brand new, doesn't even have any dirt on the fans or heat sink. And I do believe the last time I checked my reputation here was good enough to where people would believe that the card isn't physically defective. Here is the Massive post dealing with wow frame rate issue with the 4000 Gen Readeon Cards 4850 / 4870 Radeon Issues in WoW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the Massive post dealing with wow frame rate issue with the 4000 Gen Readeon Cards 4850 / 4870 Radeon Issues in WoW ya i hear even the 4870 get's the same frames you do, did you try the 9.1 drivers? they may have resolved the issue. If it fixes the problem I am going to ROFL. enjoy that 9800gt though that's agood card too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just installed it, but I couldn't read the release notes D: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingfisher Posted January 30, 2009 It may also be a WoW patch issue and the way they patch that game it may clear itself up if in fact that is the issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vyroburn Posted January 30, 2009 Ya if 9.1 fixes the problem then I will just face palm myself. Sigh, I will try tonight after work. But the 9800gt is on the way so I guess I will just throw the 4850 in the wives computer. shrug, or visa verse. But I will do a /face palm for sure if it fixes it.

I'm starting to doubt that it will since it sounds like 9.1 is the dame drivers as 8.12 lol. You didn't ever try rolling back a driver version or two did ya?

vyroburn Posted January 30, 2009 Actually no, surprisingly enough I didn't. Will do tonight to try again, I may try my other mobo /cpu combo as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vyroburn Posted February 2, 2009 Well, nothing worked old drivers new drivers. Still poor frames in wow alone, other games its working great. I am baffled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just don't use this as an excuse to hate ATI. i'm sure that card will make another quite happy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kingfisher Posted February 18, 2009 Just installed my new 4850 and playing WoW at max settings pegged at 60 fps with all hell breaking loose in certain zones or with no activity does not seem to matter, my monitors refresh rate is 60 btw. I do only run 1360x768 res though. Not sure what may be going on with others with 4800 series cards and Wow and low frames. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
