vbetts Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 http://www.guru3d.com/article/amd-ati-rade...3d--powercolor/ I think I'll have to get one of these in my next build...Or a 4870. It's a mid-range card and it's scoring almost as the 9800GTX! ATI really made up for the R600 with this one so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerTea Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The most important question, does it work well with OSx86? Any details? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 AFAIK, there currently is no support for the R770, seeing as it just came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This 4850 is awesome. It beats the 9800GTX in a few benchmarks actually, especially Bioshock... Very impressive stuff from AMD/ATI, I can't wait to see how the 4870 performs, it should be killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netkas Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 i still has old triakis framebuffer, which seems to support rv770 res switching, no qe/ci tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well the 4870 is out and it is one hot card, beating/matching the GTX 260 at a lower price point and very close to the GTX 280 for half the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabricioGS Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think this is a great board but I'll get an 9800GTX instead. Basically because 9800 already is already supported by OS X (G92 chip, just search the foruns to find the fix), and 48x0 will probably be suported too but but will take some time. Also, the 9800 has a better cooler and I'm planning to do some overclock with it. My current 8800 GT is great but I can't overclock it much because it's cooler is single slot just like the 4850. And last but not least, nVidia is starting to release CUDA plattform (Physix), and I think Apple will do use it sooner or later too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
