Condolences Required of my HIS 4850 and Unboxing of XFX RADEON 6790 ;)

[hzahid]

Dear PG Fellows,
My old friend HIS ATI 4850 just passed away due to my fault (3yrs old) last week after providing me alot of fun in PC Gaming in all the titles which i throw at it at amazing performance.
Now here comes its younger brother XFX ATI RADEON 6790 hope and wish it will provide us the same level of Performance in all the Games coming ahead.

6790 = Scalled down version of 6850 with less processing shaders but is balenced with increased core clocks

PS1 the GPU you will find on XFX Website is with "Black" fan for 6790 and Red Fan Cooler with Red DVI connectors on back plate are for ATI Radeon 6850
Along with that on XFX website that GPU also has 2 6pin power connectors where as this one has only 1

PS2 i did not used the 6790 sticker on the heatsink as 6850 is looking good

Purchased from CZONE @ 14200 with 1 yr warranty.

Thanks Usman, yarr as you can read in my post 6790 is stripped down version of 6850 hence the same cooler is used by XFX and pasted the 6790 sticker on top and for the 2x6 pin most of the GPU makers haved done this on 6790 you can check on the net.
Secondly thanks for wishing me gr8 gaming too.

Hi Zain, thanks yarr, i do keep the system clean but it gets the dust after every few months as my system is placed at the floor and the side vent is opened Plus due to Jharoo every days its gets in this shape but you are right the cleaning is due will do it InshAllah after eid.

Congratulations

Thanks Kamran.

Hmm....If you flash it with 6850's BiOS...You 'might' get lucky!...

 

[Optimus]

Congrats, i say HIS variant was a better choice.

 

[zainu]

the same jharoo problem was there with me... and the best thing which can get rid this problem is that put ur pc on a table.... i mean put ur pc on the level which is upper then ground... and use blower to clean the cooler u will get better temps..

Yarr abhi to 1 hafta bhi nhin hua therefore cant risk as i also read on net that the disbaling of extra cores are on hardware level flashing will not do anything good.

Congrats, i say HIS variant was a better choice.

Sahi keh rahai ho yarr considering the bundle, ab kiya karsaktai hain

the same jharoo problem was there with me... and the best thing which can get rid this problem is that put ur pc on a table.... i mean put ur pc on the level which is upper then ground... and use blower to clean the cooler u will get better temps..

Yarr there is no place on the computer shelf thats why the system is on the ground will close the case soon by installing some fans on the back to exhasute air.
