HD 4850 Crossfire - Grid

[Gollsodia]

They are ninety-nine dollars now!

[evoluti0n1]

@Gollsodia NICE! One of my cards died a while back, will be much cheaper to replace now!

[keffje007]

what resolution?

[karthickpersia]

cool card gonne buy thss month END..

[UltraMarinKlor]

what is better : ati 4890 or 4850 crossfire?????

[CleverIdi0t]

4890 because not all games support crossfire there if it dosent u have 4850 vs 4890 but if you ask me go for a 5770 or 5850 ,

[titin200]

@CleverIdi0t True but most games these days support crossfire and the two 4850's will beat a 4890.

[MrTHEO321]

Yes, Overclock your C.P.U. at least @3.0Ghz to benifit from your two ATi Radeon HD4850 Cards.

[Inuyasha9110]

wow it looked awesome

[titin200]

You need to OC your Quad, you would be bottlenecking those cards at 2.6GHz

[MORMEL360]

wtf $200 per card? i've got my hd4850 xfx 1gig version for only 109 euro's XD

[B00h44]

lol guys... I still run this game with those settings on my 7800gtx

3800+ X2

2 GB OCZ ram

Asus A8N-SLI premium

[Traper45]

Yes

[TheModerate513]

same here. I have the evga 7800gtx KO; got it when it came out. I'll be upgrading to an i7 setup soon though.

Case - Nox Coolbay HX

With a 1920x1080 screen : Acer H233H

I run this game @ 75fps, so something is wrong with ur setup if u get 80 with 2 4850's

[BetoSurvivorMax]

That's probably because this game doesn't take advantage of 4 cores and dual gfx cards. im pretty sure he will get higher fps in a gme like crysis or far cry 2

[areng871]

no i get 90-115 on dual 4830 and ~60-75 on single

[Pelozaki]

this video was in July 01, 2008, one year old Catalyst and without OC.

[EtiennoLoL]

im still running with AtiC 8.8 releasedate 21-08-08 shouldnt be much difference....

next to that, a Q9300 runs stock at 2.5Ghz is runs 2.6... thats a OverClock no-matter how much, but it is...

PS: im getting min FPS of 56 (witth smoke @ drifting) and a max FPS of 83, thats a less worse framedrop then his TWO! gfx since i just have one

Judging on your system specs i think you know alow ev0lution1..

how would u rate my computer ?

[evoluti0n1]

I'm not too familiar with your Mobo (haven't looked at hardware since my last build)...but everything else looks good. The video cards are great, I haven't had a problem.

Out of 10? I'd give it an 8 (Only b/c I don't know much about the Mobo)

[doctorbubble]

By reading the description I see you have a Asus P5E but there are many derivatives of the board i.e., deluxe, P5E-WE-PRO or deluxe version. What board do you have specifically? Thanks

[evoluti0n1]

ASUS P5E LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX, I checked my newegg order history, seems like regular P5E.

[Gamestar11]

how many watts does ur PSU have to be to do crossfire?

[unokilo321]

i checked the website and 450w for one and minimum of 550w for cross fire a good 600w should be good but a corsair or pc power and cooling 750w would be better

[Gamestar11]

ok thanks

[z0reaper]

Hey, why do you have a 750W PSU? I have almost the same specs as you ( only the graphic card ), but I can run my computer smoothly with 430W PSU.

[evoluti0n1]

I have 6-7 hard drives, a few USB devices, slightly OC'd CPU. I got 750W because it was recommended to me elsewhere and 750W should be good for a small upgrade or two.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Great graphics and damage but gameplay is arcade at best!

[esenjay22]

I have 9800GT (512MB RAM, GDDR3, 256bit) and the min FPS was 50, max was 110. When recording with fraps is possibile to record with +/-40FPS.

[vlekkietwinnie]

The 485-0 is a better card

[essa510]

ok plz tell me was a fps

[Decenium]

Resolution?

Why the PSU, 600 watt would be more than enough.

[anioi]

NOT BAD...

[karl9562210]

Hey! I have sapphire 4850 512mb and one program sayd that i have 1gb of ram, why?!?

Because i overclocked it? or does it realy have 1gb? I looked under Catalyst and it says there that it has 512mb of ram!

[0mfgitzBiafor3]

mabye the 1gb is ur ram?

[karl9562210]

On box theres written 512mb.

[piez07]

Bcoz it's 256bit card dude!!

[HaWaKeR]

Hi! ;) I got a problem with my crossfire... I got 2x HIS 4850 in crossfire. when i have enabled crossfire my FPS lower than whithout it.

System:

Asus P5K-E WiFi/Ap

Intel C2D E8200 2.66@ 4.0

2x1024 Samsung PC6400

2x HIS 4850

PS:600wt ASCOT

Without crossfire i got higher FPS!!! What's wrong with my system? Catalyst version 8.10.

Vista Ultimate 64x

Sry for my English.

[cxy765]

you dont know nothin' about drive motherfucker

[evoluti0n1]

english?

[benberkovic]

you a sad ass mofo urself bruh! hatin on strangers tellz me u got some mental issues... have a beer dude and chill!

[thepiro666]

in a lot o race the fps it s set on 60 as average , with all the advance graph option on high at 1600 x 1200 all maxed

[crowman131]

hey..is this card worth getting for my ne wpc? i mean jsut oen of them with 2gb of good ram andyour average amd athlon x2 6000+ at 3ghz?? i reckon ill be able to play some decent games on it?

[seekerjet]

It's really worth it. I bought the HD 4850 and played GRID in 1680x1050 with everything enabled. It's totally fluent, fast and real-time. I've got the HD 4850 for a month now and this card's processing power is stunning. I can play every demanding game with ease. For a card less than $200 it's most certainly worth purchasing. Especially GRID with this card is eye-popping.

[thepiro666]

i got the same card (and amd 6000)and i play to crysis at 1600 x 1200 no aa everything high , thank s to the new zti driver whit fps 18 to 80 (it s incredible) i hope with the november driver to have a more stable fps . godd news teh new ati driver of this month get an easy overclock

[Cotton926]

dude overclock your CPU

[Kaotik2k8]

lmao illegally downloading music, 'Sour' is a well known release group for music. 'You dont have to run' is the song title.

[evoluti0n1]

haha, thx.

[donnei1992]

Hmm?

[algiotar]

Solution: 19XX x 1080?

[markusass]

@Scorpilingus88 Day jobs? I clean the toilets out for the Queen and wipe the Royal family's collective botties. What do you do?

[markusass]

I saw a bit of slowdown on the corner of that track. Tut-tut, you'll have to upgrade to a 4870x2. ;-) Seriously though, at 1650x1050 with maximum eye candy and 2 AA I get about 130 FPS, which is overkill, and that's using a single Radeon 4850 card (which cost me £110) paired with a Phenom 9550 quad core.

[Scorpilingus88]

i want to know how you guys are buying all these spec components.. What are your days jobs ?????? or do you guys have rich parents or sumthing.. i just want to know bcuz..i would like to build a super sweet computer some day.

[shaurz]

Hi there. I couldn't afford expensive components until recently (still running Athlon XP 3000+ (£22 ebay upgrade) / GeForce 6200 up to last week), I finished uni and now work as a software developer. Living with parents helps reduce outgoings :-) I think some kids work part-time jobs solely to buy computer gear. Some idiots spend their student loan like water, I could pay mine off in a few months.

[evoluti0n1]

Software Engineering/Consulting for the Hedge Fund industry. Took me about 2 weeks to get enough to build this.

[Josh1901]

If you live at your parents and don't need to spend money to live, you could have 1k pretty quickly, that should get u an e8500 (3.16ghz dual core- a ati 4850, 4gb ddr2 ram, antec 900) that would play all the new games really good ;)

[evoluti0n1]

I need quad core for work and video editing. I'd rather save up for a house hehe.

[Josh1901]

well you could get the q6600 for $10 more then the e8500

[benberkovic]

right on, right on... gamin is just a pass time (or is it past time? heh, no idea), but makin yo real life better is forever! and that even rhymes! :P heh...

[benberkovic]

i rob banks and kidnap rich peoples kids and then hold em for, like, totally ridiculous ransoms... my next target is paris hilton... as a kid of course...

i also do translation work, teach english and am a cisco computer network specialist :)

[taste4love]

how do u put the fps working.. will that work in xp???

[x1c3x]

lol ppl, saying i can get same FPS with 2900 ?!

2900 was/is awesome, it's been around long and is still VERY good

dj4monie 2xxx were a joke? BULL SHIT !

i saw ppl playing crysis with 2400

[dj4monie]

I don't doubt it. However this is a HTPC, I run a Gateway 24" monitor its my TV with Vista Media Center. I'm not interested in Cryris at all. I bought my last video card in 2003 (AIW 9600XT), I want to play GRID on Ultra@1920x1200, AAx4, no stutting, no slowdown and the IGP won't cut it of course, I want to buy a new card and I have spent days looking at vids on here. Just trying to save money otherwise an HD4870 is a no-brainer...

[dj4monie]

2400 was better than my 9600XT AIW, but I never played a game on it, didn't have it more than a week, UVD didn't work. I just picked up a HD3870, seriously considered a HD3650 as I know this is temp card and looking towards the HD4850x2. Going to up the clock to 3.3Ghz (2.91Ghz currently) on my 5000+ BE and I should be just fine with most games...

[dapoutsi]

Anyway i was just joking man!!Of course 2900 xt cant put up with 4xxx series but i really do run this game smoothly on 1280x1024

[dapoutsi]

come on man i play this game 100% high settings with my 2900 xt and it goes smoothly...

Just like the vid here

[dj4monie]

Yeah but what 800x600? Run it at 1900x1200 on Ultra with your 2900xt and I doubt it would run that smoothly. 2xxx cards were a joke and the 3xxxx cards are barely better, the 4xxxx has put ATI back on top and 2 Crossfire 4's will kill a 280GT and cost less in doing so, if your board supports it.

[dapoutsi]

i am very sry to disapoint but just yesterday my 4870x2 arrived!!

[matonator]

loool sapphire hd 4950 :D

[bungwohlio]

I get the same performance with one HD4850. :)

[s4iko1337]

i solved my problem:

i've installed VISTA xDDDDDDDDDDD

[s4iko1337]

the demo version works fine o0 ! lol

[s4iko1337]

the ORIGINAL full version does not run on my pc. i dunno why. i have deactivated all my virtual drives. used -novirtual. uninstalled antivir. shut down firewall. updated video, sound, and chipset drivers. updated directx.

i have q6600, 8600 gts, 2 gb ram.

and win xp home sp2 32 bit.

can someone help me please ? :(

[sashaalx03]

go to some pc forums and ask them about this problem

maibe someone knows what to do :D

[haz939]

I thought grid did not support sli, unless they have have made an update or summat.

[nathanb2159]

dude nice vid ive been looking for some1 who uses ur technique for ages :P

using a vid cam not frap too record -___-

and showing the actual fps :P

GG

[fragrey]

Do you have new drivers because the last thing I heared was that Race Driver GRID is not supporting the 4850 in crossfire mode. So that might be just one 4850. An Answer would be great because I consider buying 2 4850 to run them in crossfire. :)

[CShunter11]

Sapphire HD 4950 ????????  :))))

[alessandro86bonollo]

the future of gaming didnt u know?? ;DD

[ojnunezm]

DnB rules!!! what song is this? machine specs are?

[Johnny300Rider]

All in the description.

[lukesmart]

i love ATI~~~

[kaluminady]

ye your right - the brand doesn't actually matter, the card will be the same but it will sometimes cost more because it will bundle a game or a longer warranty.

so go for the cheaper one if your going to buy a 4850 - because at the moment, they are all the same to be honest.

[smilingandalf]

Yeah but most importantly, have you killed Jim Toshio yet?

[evoluti0n1]

I played a track or two in this game...then I got a computer worm and had to reformat :( .

Perhaps I will at some point.

[ddosBass]

200$ per card? i'm buying one HD4850 (also Sapphire) for 150 euro's. can't wait to install it into my system, currently playing on a 7900gt 512mb GPU, e8400 processor and 600w gpu.

[niels2029]

sapphire, msi, best quality

[Vaggras]

Bullshit.

Its all the same. Guarantee (or w/e) lasts longer/shorter and thats all.

[yaiknowscrewme]

sup man..I see ya got ya 4850 huh??How u like u it??Just played cod4 on my 4850 today and man..Its a killer card

[evoluti0n1]

I love it to death! well...them :)

[tejleong]

lol your driving quite...

[evoluti0n1]

awfully..i know haha, I dont play often.

hey, what music too? (lolz im floodimg the coments of this video :D)

[evoluti0n1]

concord Dawn-You Dont Have To Run Sour

[viciokas1993]

the more videos i see the more i go for 4850 crossfire :) its a perfect bet for people who dont have a lot of money but just love games :)

[ultima5002]

I heard that the hd 4850 crossfire doesn't really do any better than a single hd 4850 because of the driver not supporting it really well but hopefully the updated driver should increase the performance to make it go 100fps>.

[ekozephyr]

In The Starting he Wrote ATI 4950 :O

[Spect8er1]

hey man, what kind of performance can i get with: a Q6600 G0 OC'd to 3 GHz, a single visiontek HD 4850, 4 gigs of GSkill MQ 800 mhz, on a gigabyte -GA-EP35-DS3R mobo, with a 500 gb 7200 rpm 16 mb cache HDD?? i was hoping 100 % max settings with 4xaa and 16x af at 1280x1024 (limited by 17" monitor)can i get that?

[o0tomma0o]

Can I use a 4850 with 250W?

[Spect8er1]

hell no

[tricccple]

awsome vid

[NeoXF]

Also... you should be getting WAAAAY better frames per second than that with that setup... unless... what in-game setting are you ACTUALLY using? 16x QAA, 16xAF + all max? Cause for that setup is a bit of an overkill for "just" a 21" monitor(not that it's a bad thing).

[wolfvagon]

sorry ma8 i meant GDDR 3

[wolfvagon]

i,ve heard that sapphire gonna bring HD4850x2

with 1 GIG GDDR 1 .

[sonicrulez]

I doubt they'll put GDDR1 on it lol maybe 3 or 4.

[ninethings]

So, there's a 4850X2 coming out?

[Spect8er1]

well, a 3850 X2 DID come out so...

[truemedic]

2 HD4850's take 460W At peak load. I recommend a very good quality PSU if your gonna run at 550W or even 600W. For best I recommend the Corsair 620W Powersupply. For me i bought the 750W just to be safe

[NeoXF]

Or better still, get the 1500W Silverstone Godlike FTW! Edition PSU... LOL... "just to be safe"...

You do know that that "peak load" refers to the full system right? Also peak load = all HDDs spin-up, CPU 100% usage on all cores, maximum RAM reads and writes, PCI-Express and graphics card at maximul transfer rate/usage and what not... ALL at the same time. And the maximul that it can touch during that time.

[viciokas1993]

uh... im going with 1000W :D. well, im thinking of the future and upgrades that ill do

[vicioustomato]

Wow, some mighty good lookin graphics you got there!

[FORZALEGEND360]

Yet another great video . What operating system you use mate.

[Aeitou1]

visDUH

[evoluti0n1]

Thanks :)....Vista Ultimate 64 bit

[speedaddict2008]

how the f*** did you get almost 100 fps on such a game with a 2.6 Ghz CPU (sorry if i am saying stupid stuff)P.S i say this because i think (now) that you have a single core CPU. PPS I'm almost sure i'm wrong! PPPS. Is that because of the pwning GPU and the "cool" cooling system?

[WhiteWingedKnight]

Avg Fps?

[evoluti0n1]

The average was around 80...I rarely dipped below that, it fluctuated between 70-99 or so.

[helldrell666]

the pure xfire board is the 790fx from amd coupled with the new 750sb. Well you can still use an intel x48 board for dual fire setup.

[onthelam]

Thanks I enjoyed your video - I have a single Asus EAH4850.

[fickie321]

Hey man i've got one 4850 but i think about getting a second one, i know my 485 watt PSU won't do the job but do you think i be allright with a 600 watt?

[evoluti0n1]

Possibly, I heard 550W was the minimum..I'd check around Google though, I'd feel bad if I were wrong. Good luck.

[Vitrisek]

Great video man! What is your 21" resolution and can you run fraps so we can see frames per second in real time next time? Thanks!

[evoluti0n1]

Thanks...its 1680x1050. I really wanted to do two video feeds..one of FPS the other of the video. I only have 1 camera tho :-/
