theres a couple of these 4850 vapor x on a website for 99 bucks each. should i get one? running a 450w corsair, amd athlon II 620 @ 2.6 ghz, Biostar Mcp6p m2+ mobo, 2g ram
i wonder if this will fit my lanbox anyone of you guys have an idea? i have a apevia q-pack 2 casing with a gigabyte ga-ma785 motherboard. please help, thanks!
The problem will probably be with the software, not the PSU. GTA IV usually crashes with 4000 series radeons, the game is simply badly optimalised. There are sollutions for that on YT, search for "GTA IV 4870 crash" or sthg like that. Another source of the problem could be the motherboard, the chipset maybe, but that PSU has to take your config, it won't EVER consume more than 500W. (2GB RAM+4870 512MB in X-fire+ Q9650+ASUS p5e3 deluxe => 430W peak consumption)
Why you say AMD Sucks ?You have ben buy or test new Models of AMD Phenom 2 ??? If no please dont say this ! I love AMD But i dont tell Intel sucks becouse never have it new models :)
Hello I am building a new PC on an Asus M3A78-EM board with this video card (4870 Vapor) and Phenom 2 940be, I DONT overclock, I am confused about what DDR2 should I get 1066 or 800 MHz, does anyone know what is better?
WTF!?! i just wanted to see what people think.Sorry to piss you off,i just want to get the best computer i can and this is what i came up with and wanted input from other people.Godbless
WHats wrong? Did i upset you asking around to get other peoples input?well i'd just like to say that i'm not retarded,just wanted to talk to people to see what they had to say about my new computer..IF anyone else thinks this way send me a message IF you think this guys right! IF you think he's wrong send him the message . I would hope most people arn't assholes like this jerkoff!
If I could be so rude as to question your statement,how exactly does my aforementioned sentence NOT make sense,good sir ?
The reason why I am inquiring is because I am intrigued by your display of stupidity and faggotry,seeing as your useless remark,that wasn't even on topic,shows just how much you actually fail at life.
With all my respect,no one was talking to you,chap.
I bought the HD 4850 512 mo version and it's very silent contrary to the hd 4850 with rad single slot. I play GTA IV in 1680*1050, I do 50 FPS with the benchmark.
I have o/c the card to 700/1024 and I do P6554 in 3d marks vantage.
I bought the HD4870 2GB version cos I needed over 1GB ram for GTA 4 (1611 MB at everything full, 1920x1200), but when put all max, the GPU isn't fast enough for it. Maybe it's the game not optimised, maybe with 2 of these cards in CrossFire could do it, but at the moment I can't play on max graphics, still better than my previous vid card with only 512 MB ram. So I can play at 1920x1200, basically high everything (couldn't set high textures before) only draw dist at like 25 and detail like 50.
i will have it at christmas

How much of an improvement could I expect if I got this card(4870 2gb) compared to my 9800gt 1gb? I play such games as gta iv, crysis, and oblivion.
oc5nsli341nforce4 2 years ago
i have two of those HD4870 2gb card on CROSSFIRE,but why are the frame rate are still low when playing GTA 4?
even when playing CRYSIS WARHEAD,the game set the graphic only at LOW setting.
when i was using a Gigabyte HD4850 1GB, it run even better even when only use only one card.
i still don't understand why are these thing happening.

First,learn how to type.
Second, am I the one who is going around,obviously trolling or asking the most stupid questions ever?
What the hell is wrong with you ?
The machine,about which you asked if it was good,had,like,one of the most powerful PC specs that are available for a considerable price.
How stupid do you have to be to wonder if that'd be a good gaming rig ?
Also,who cares about your PC specs ?
We're discussing theVCs,shown in the video,not our pc specs,as you can see for yourself.
