Well got mine yesterday
First impressions, good simple box design and the card looks great:
However the bundle is a bit lacklustre, on the hexus review it was bundled with powerdvd etc and the one i got came with a simple setup guide and a pcie to molex connector+crossfire
Anyone else bought one and found to have an extremely basic bundle?
Apart from that i believe the card is great because at idle and load its silent, it idles at ~42C with the fan at <20%(auto) and on load (with ati tool) it stays under 70 which is done by the fan spinning at ~38%, the fan is virtually silent at 45 and silent(to me) at <40 so the temps are good aswell as the noise. Its a very hot day so i expect temps to be lower by about 5C during colder days.
Over clocking: Managed to get it to 715Mhz core and 1125Mhz memory up from 625/993(1986), that to me seems quite good considering it uses less power than all other 4850s i was expecting it to be a bit worse
3dmark doesnt seem to work so no benchmarks.
