After buying 6800GT years ago and getting Avg performace at best! I lost my interest in PC gaming but after 1-2 years PC is full of all these gr8 games and while i wont get 4870 for 20K+ but 4850 at 13-14K will be ideal! i want it now! Its like price of 9600GT for performance beyond 8800GT! yeah!

^ Dont start celebrating just yet :)
The 4870 is gonna come to PK at 26k+
And the 4850 at 18k+

The cards are great of course. Awesome performance.
Price tag of 26+ will still be gud for the performance it delivers :wink2:

the temperatures of 4870 aren't good as well, seeing that it was benchmarked in a room with 21'C temp and it went to 87'C @ load easily.

What would happen if it is run in a room with 36'C temp. the card will surely reach 105+.

Nonetheless the performance is just great for the price.

I'm waiting... They said that the second gen, dual-slot and over-clocked version of the 4850 will come in the second week of July.
It will be BETTER than the 9800GTX+ :) A LOT better. (Even the stock version is at times better)

its main competitor is 9800 gtx and overall they r on par, in some test 9800 gtx takes the lead and in other 4850 takes the crown.....so if u r an ati fan then go for it right away.....at price point, they both now fall in the same range i.e. sub $200.....

Its pwns 9800GTX, that is why the GTX got a massive price drop (270 => 200)
Now nVIDIA's gonna release 9800GTX+ (an overclocked 9800 with 55nm mfg process).

The 4850 was even better than the GTX+ in most games :)
Still, they are gonna release an OCed 4850 (dual-slot) that will pwn the GTX+.

Great work ATI.

I don't think Galaxy will showcase these cards (less chances) 'cause they have showcased already beaten GTX280 nd GTX260 and WTF!! They never consume there money in a good way.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
